I am unable to format my c:

[rbasram]

Hi I want to format my c; drive but when ever I type the command format c: it gives me the message bad aommand or file name, is there a way to format my drive...

Create a windows startup disk, boot from that and then format it.

Yes, that is what I would do!

Whenever Windows decideds to play games with me and give me error messages, I always do what I want to accomplish in DOS. You shouldn't have any problems doing it in DOS.

If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space!
