</blockquote>Sure .. you need to do the following :<br /><br />1) In the Disk and Network Filesystems module, un-mount the filesystem by clicking on Yes in the mounted column<br />2) Go to the Partitions on Local Disks module, and click on the partition you want to format.<br />3) Use the Create Filesystem button at the bottom of the page to format the partition.<br />4) Go back to the Disk and Network Filesystems module, and re-mount it.<br /><br />Naturally, this will delete ALL data on your filesystem!<br /><br />=A0- Jamie<br /><br />
