• CANNOT FORMAT DRIVE C IN THE WINDOWS VISTA HELP

  NEED HELP OR THE DIRECTION OF FORMATTING DISK C WITH THE HELP OF WINDOWS VISTA, AND OR AT LEAST LIGHT AND CLEAN UP ALL THE FILES THAT THE COMPUTER DOES NOT NEED TO RUN ON THE DRIVE C.

  You must run the installation format or the recovery disc.  Boot the disk and click on repair or otherwise access the recovery options screen and select command prompt.  Type Format C:\ break-in and must format the drive.  If that of not working cd C:\Windows\System32 and try again the order. You may need to change the BIOS to do first the CD drive in the boot sequence to boot from the CD.  To do this, hold the screen that tells you the key F to push to enter the menu start or start of installation.  Push it quickly. Make the changes, save your work and exit.  Put the CD in the drive and reboot.  When you are prompted, press any key to boot from the CD.

  If you do not have a disc, you can make a bootable recovery disk by using http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ with burning software like: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html and, of course, a blank CD (be it on this computer or on another computer).
