ok i've got 2 computers, the one i am on now, and this custom one i picked up for free. the pc worked "okay" until i attempted to put XP on. Not all the files from the XP disk didn't copy for some reason and now im stuck in a rut between 98 and XP. the computer will only get to the "choose startup" screen (1 normal, 2 logon, 3 safe mode, etc.) help me on completely erasing all of this Harddrive(internal)
