All it does in XP is bring up the task manager.

The best way to format a disk is by using the Disk Manager or by using the XP CD as you briefly mentioned if you want to format the system disk.
No no no, when you format the drive with Windows 95/98 on it after the format is complete through DOS you press ctrl alt del to restart with your XP cd in the cd rom drive and it will automatically read it.

When you make this a sticky could you delete all the irrelvant posts!
