Your explanation is pretty clear, but you're confused about fdisk.
Fdisk is not format. Fdisk allows you to delete and create partitions.
The format command formats.
On Win2KPro (or XP), you don't need to mess around with dos command
line programs. Just open
Start -> Programs -> Administrative Tools -> Computer management.
Then click on Disk management.
Assuming you are an administrator, from that GUI, you can remove
partitions, create new ones, etc. You can format new partitions from
there, too. Simple, and it shows you exactly what drive and paritions
you have, and which one you are working on.
Warning: if you don't clearly understand thd difference between
formatting a partition and changing (creating, deleting, resizing)
partitions, then STOP, and get some help, or spend more time reading
up on what these operations do. (And from your posting above it seems
you don't understand this.)
