| | Formatting a drive D: I added a 2nd Virtual Drive and after reading the forum I found why it didn't show up; I still need to format it. I tried to open a cmd window and but Fdisk wasn't available. I tried Format, but it required that I have the volume name, which for some reason I couldn't match. It also required me to use FAT32 and didn't allow NTFS. I simply want a data & program drive with no OS installed. Can't I easily do this from cmd window within my XP guest OS? Geoffry |

Remember that, as far as software (both OS and apps) is concerned, there is no difference between a physical machine and a virtual machine... Steve has provided you with the answer, but this isn't a Virtual PC question per se.. -- Mark Rae ASP.NET MVP http://www.markrae.net |
