How do you format a hard drive with Windows 95?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

For any disk OTHER THAN THE ONE YOU BOOT FROM, simply open a command prompt and type:

format d: (where "d" is the designator of the disk that you want to format)

OR

open windows explorer, select "my computer" then right click on the drive you want to format (again, it can't be the disk you boot from"

If you want to format your C drive you'll need to boot from some other medium, such as the installation disk or a floppy.

Why does Windows Server 2008 come in different versions?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Just as with consumer-oriented versions of Windows, Windows Server comes in several different varieties to accommodate features useful to different types of users. Large businesses are willing to pay dearly for operating systems that support dozens of processors and thousands of users, but a small business would be loathe to pay the same price when all they want is to run a small volume web server. By creating multiple versions with different feature sets, Microsoft is able to maximize their profits by gaining both types of customers.

Can you upgrade from Windows 95 to Windows XP?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Not directly. You would need to format the hard drive and install Vista from scratch. Note that the very best computers that shipped with Windows 98 SE, Windows 2000, or Windows ME are scraping the very bottom of Vista's minimum system requirements. It may not be a very cost effective upgrade to install Windows Vista on such an old computer.

What is the maximum hard disk size on windows?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The current maximum size of an NTFS partition is 16 exabytes (18 billion gigabytes). Assuming you can divide up the drive into four primary partitions, you can have 64 exabytes on a hard drive. Of course, Windows still uses BIOS addressing to find the size of a hard drive, so it is still limited by what the BIOS can see. Currently, the newest BIOSes support a maximum of 144 petabytes (144 million gigabytes).

How can create a exe file in c?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

An 'exe' extension file is created by a compiler that translates source code to machine code, usually in a Windows environment.

An executable program can open any file (including other executable files) by using the standard file API calls with a binary open option.

Unless you are doing something very specific with executable files it doesn't make much sense to read in an executable file from another executable file or program.
