Formating my C Drive...Volume Label....

**YesterdayToday** · 04-12-2010 12:30 AM

I inputed Command Prompt C: into my Command Prompt, and it said that it needs my volume label to proceed for that drive. How do I find the Volume Label for my C drive?

you can't do C: directly

Code:

cd C:

To find the volume label of your C: drive in windows using command prompt just type

Code:

C:
dir

And it'll be printed on top.
However, you shouldn't need the volume label to change drive. Both

Code:

C:

and

Code:

cd /d C:

should work.

Thanks guys, your advic worked and I found the Volume Label. However, when I pressed Y in my control panel to erase my C drive, something else came up. All of a sudden it said this when it was supposedly about to commence formatting: "System partition is not allowed to be formatted" What can I do to by pass this and format my C drive?
