It was very troublesome so I cleared everything from the hard drive using DBAN, I have wiped the hard disk clean and now want to run FDISK followed by FORMAT to create a good clean disk structure.<\/p>\n<p>I have both FDISK and FORMAT software on a bootable disk which was created with Windows XP. Can I use those programs on the computer on which I want to reinstall Windows 7, or must I have FDISK and FORMAT software that were created with Windows 7?<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind that my &#8220;old&#8221; computer uses XP and runs just fine. The computer on which I want to run FDISK and FORMAT will eventually have Win 7 installed.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>Robert Kunz<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"iawp_total_views":163},"question-category":[42],"question_tags":[],"class_list":["post-10938","question","type-question","status-publish","hentry","question-category-windows-7"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question\/10938","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/question"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10938"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10938"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"question-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question-category?post=10938"},{"taxonomy":"question_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question_tags?post=10938"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
