    Ghost? Is your computer ghosted from another? Sometimes permissions are set on a ghosted computer using deep freeze to keep the user from messing with system files.

    Would booting from a dos disk allow him to format regardless of deep freeze? I've never heard of that.

    low level format the drive using active@ killdisk (it's free). It will zero out the drive, erasing EVERYTHING. Then you can format away.
