You'll have the option to format durring the installation. If you just want to format a single drive or diskette open up your command line (I'm assuming you're on XP...or atleast that's the OS I'm using now). Type: format [drive] /FS:NTFS where [drive] is the drive you want to format and the filesystem is NTFS (you don't have to specify a filesystem). __________________ See today\'s Penny-Arcade!(May contain foul lanuage) Pain is weakness leaving the body.

TheMajor is on a distinguished road

You cannot format a floppydisk using NTFS filesystem. The master file table will be 4MB and wouldn't fit.
