peat moss is right, it does work, it just depends on if you know how , besides he never said if it was NTFS or not and that combined with the fact that he doesn't know how to format a HDD probaby means it's not.Originally Posted by Virtualbody1234
VB is right about the boot from cd and "raw" post tho and that should of been be the end of it . Now that we know what the thread starter wants , but thats why there's forums like this to help . Many ways to skin a cat eh .
I know peat. But why use outdated DOS that isn't designed for Windows XP? It's also not as user friendly as the bootable CD by a long shot.Originally Posted by peat moss
I disagree. The default for Windows XP is NTFS. And I do know how.Originally Posted by Leeson
Vb, read my post I beat you by a good 2 seconds ! Or that old saying I know you know .

Well the fact that he doesn't know how to format a HDD tells me that he didn't know how, it was never in question if you did or not.... besides I did also say that he could use the XP CD as well, which I don't really belive does have a default, it is more a choice of the user, however yes it is highly reccomended to use the NTFS, but it could have been FAT32
but as peat said... there are many ways
