Isn't their a way on the disk to just format the drive without partitioning **** i just want a blank screen with windows installed like i just bought the cpu....no boot disk crap.

u need a boot disk, it will lead u into a blank dos screen
then u type
format C:

BladeX

if your disk is bootable then u can just do it from there they offer to format,


or get any disk and it should be able to bring you to dos and you put format c:

then put in ur cd and do cd d:\i386 then winnt enter and then everything should be self explaining from there

just put the XP Home cd in and change your bios setting so it'll boot from the cdrom and than do an install, and it'll format your hard drive and bring the computer back up like you bought it except for any other added software that came with it. but you'll have a clean install of xp on a formatted drive.

Backup everything.

1.) Go to bios, and make it so its boots from cd first, floppy, then HDD.

2.) Stick in a boot disk first so you get into dos, then type format c: (/q if you want to do it quickly)

3.) Stick in windows XP cd, and type restart in dos.

4.) Follow on screen instructions, and reinstall windows.
