June 25, 200422 yr i want to make a partition and format it with NTFS without using the XP cd. i have spent too long trying to figure out how. the ultimate boot cd has 8 tools for partitioning and they all suck and dont work. can someone please tell me how i can do this
June 25, 200422 yr hey shapelessAlthough its been a while, you might like to look at www.bootdisk.com - they have all the disk sets for windows os's - basically if i were you id probably grab the 2K or NT set... that will give you standard setup options for an OS install - which will give you the ability to format the hard drive in NTFS mode!Hope that helps
