FORMAT. so i just right click and press format like a floppy? um how long will this take and is there any risk i'll ruin my pc btw luv your avatars. maggie g ftw (even if that isnt really her) there is no chance of it ruining your computer, unless you are trying to format the C: drive, or whatever drive your operating system is installed on. But you said you already deleted everything else, so I'm assuming that your OS isn't on there.
