Formating HD with XP
Bob,
The following information requires that you have a Windows XP CD. You do it as part of a new setup of the system. Then run the XP CD, enter Install, change Upgrade to New install, and when it asks you to confirm where, hit ESC You can then select and delete the current partition, create a new RAW one in its place and select it, then at the next stage format it. You may also want to visit the following site for some useful information; http://support.microsoft.com/default...;en-us;Q313348 -- Sir_George "Bob Johnson" wrote in message ... I have a machine with XP and I want to format the HD and reinstall , How do I format?? Thanks Bob Johnson |
