Format hard drive

[Calfish]

I have a laptop that I had a mac formated hard drive in it. I had installed mac os on it because I was sick of Vista. NOw the problem is that Mac Os has gone crazy (serves me righgt for installing it on a PC...) SO I want to put Vista back on. The problem is that I don't know how to format it again for windows.

Hi,

If you boot into the Windows setup disc, you should be able to delete existing partitions on the disk, create a new one, and install Windows.

Get it. Got it? Good.

Sorry, Alvin, but Windows version of formatting is like using a greasy shop rag to sterilize surgical instruments.
