I have a laptop and want to wipe clean the Hard drive on... but it has no floppy drive... how do you format with just a cd rom drive? Any help would be appreciated!

Nothing needed but your xp cd. The xp cd is bootable and provides the format options to wipe the harddrive.


When all is said and done, I hope the girls can say they had fun..
