Format my C: drive before installing XP

[Ray]

Hello, this is my 1st time. I would like to know how to
format my C: drive before installing XP. I now have
Win2000 installed. It creates a conflict between 2000
and XP. I would like to know how I can format my C:
drive. When can I find files to download to a floppy?

Help please!

Ray

Simply boot from the WinXP installation CD. You'll be offered the
opportunity to delete, create, and format partitions as part of the
installation process. (You may need to re-arrange the order of boot
devices in the PC's BIOS to boot from the CD.)

Information on doing a Clean install is found here
http://www.webtree.ca/windowsxp/clean_install.htm You will have the option
to format at the beginning of the installation process.
