Formating c: drive with XP

[Jack]

I want to take off the current XP windows and reinstall.
I want to format c: first, but I cant. Can anyone help
me to clean off my c drive by formating. Thanks.

Hi Jack,

Boot the WinXP CD, you can format C as part of the new installation.

You need to do it from a boot disk or boot cdrom! You can not format the
drive from the drive you are trying to format.
