I am trying to format my c: to change the OS. I am trying to do it using ms-dos, but I get an error message saying that the drive is not allowed to be formatted. How do I format the disc anyway?

Are you using a dos box inside windows? If so you cant format the os system drive. However, many OS installation programs offer to format the disk for you, so I dont think you have to do it manually.

Use Fdisk to delete any partitions. Then create a new partion using same with the different OS. Then you use the new operating system to format it.
-
Odds are if you are installing a new OS, the install for the OS will give you option to format drive

Gotta go with Max Drive or another utiliy from the Drive manufacturer.
