| Guest | Re: enhanced authorization Hello, the program you are formatting with has to be started by right-clicking it and choosing "Run as administrator". Then it will have elevated rights for formatting. Greetings, P.

| Guest | Re: enhanced authorization Oh, sorry, I misunderstood. From the active and started Vista, you can't format the hard disk where the active Windows is located. You have to boot from a bootable CD/DVD (like the Windows CDs/DVDs) or another media that is capable of booting and formatting your drives. Have you got a Windows setup CD? There, you can choose to format your drive and then simply exit. Greetings, P.

| Guest | Re: enhanced authorization Windows installation setup cd does not let me just format the drive but wants to reinstall windows on this drive and I want to clean this drive off- I have copied the boot mgr file to the drive I use to operate my system.. the reason this all happened is I changed motherboard from an AMD to Intel board. and it wouldn't start up so I had to load the operating system to another drive(partition)? and the boot mgr is on the wrong disk "P.
