I have been pretty busy with snow / ice, and did not get a chance to format my C drive. I asked a week or so ago as to how to do so. I was given many suggestions, and nothing seems to work. I have little to loose in al reality, and was told by my internet provider that it was my only way. I also talked to everyone except Bill Gates in person--over 4 1/2 hrs at microsoft, and they came to the same conclusion--must format c drive.
I have tried a few different comands, and my screen (black) says--
The type of file system is NTFS
WARNING, ALL DATA ON NON-REMOVABLE DISK DRIVE C WILL BE LOST! Proceed with Format (Y?N)? =====I type y and get this message
Format cannot run because the volume is in use by another process. Format may run if this volumn is dismounted first. ALL OPEN HANDLES TO THIS VOLUME WOULD THEN BE INVALID. Would you like to force a dismount on this volume? (Y/N)
I then type Y===== Then my screen goes to my windows xp with all the icons---blue sky-green grass etc.
Remember I ain't had much school housin an all---my mom was a prostitute, and the hung my dad for stealin horses--so don't expect much from me OK.
I tried to google comands-comands C: and a whole bunch of other attempts with nothing coming up.
I'm using vista on my sons computer now, but he has to use it alot--takes it with him, so i'm kind of limited for a responce.
I was simply amazed at the rapid responce by so many helpful folks with my last post. I feel asking elswhere other than at YT is kinda like cheating on my wife--just can't do that.
So A very gratful thank you to all that responded on my last post--and thanks in advance for this one.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
