Re: i cant reformat my Local Disk C :(

Why can't you? Do you get an error? Are you using that disk when trying to format it?

Huh? You said you can't format - why? What is stopping you? Did you get an error?

Are you booting to the CD?

Perhaps if you told us what you are trying to do, and a bit about your hardware?

Re: i cant reformat my Local Disk C :(

Just saying that you are getting an error isn't enough. We need to know exactly what error before we can help you. Also Bill asked for information about your computer. Why are you trying to reinstall it?

Re: i cant reformat my Local Disk C :(

What it is doing is it has detected that windows is already there. Select the partition and hit D to delete the partition and then C to create a new partition.
