Hi Andy
I am pleased that you couldn't do it, I was beginning to think that Linux had put a curse on me. I am new to coding; what is the command string to format my C drive?

Best regards

Roy

I just tried booting a VM from the liveCD. This seems to work.

1) Check what the HD is called, and make sure it is the right size.

Command

sudo fdisk -l

output

Disk /dev/sda: 21.5 GB, 21474836480 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 2610 cylinders, total 41943040 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000

Disk /dev/sda doesn't contain a valid partition table

So that tells us that the disc is called "sda". Yours might be different.
Now format it
Command

sudo mkfs /dev/sda

output

mke2fs 1.42.5 (29-Jul-2012)
/dev/sda is entire device, not just one partition!
Proceed anyway? (y,n) y
