RE-Format Windows XP - Pro

[Steven S. Kurz]

Put in your XP Pro cd, then restart the computer, go into
the bios and make sure the 1st boot device is enabled as
your CDROM drive, then save the bios and exit, watch as
the system boots you will notice a screen that says "boot
from cd, press any key" hit a key and it will start to
run the cd, then when prompted repartition and reformat
the drive. Do not use the floppies unless necessary.
Make sure to repartition and reformat the drive because
if not you will still have the same data when you
restore, follow all prompts through the installation.

Or take it to a repair shop where it will be a cake walk,
1 hour job.

Good luck!
