Hi

I have followed the guide on how to do a fresh install, and all goes well until I try to format the C Drive

By all going well I mean useing FDISK does the partition thing but when I try to format the C: it cant find the C Drive

Am I missing something

Thanks

When you used FDISK to create your partition, did you also make the partition ACTIVE?
The partition needs to be 'Active'.
