Hey, can you expert people help me. I used to know how to reformat my C: drive but now i havent been into much computer stuff, just like games in the past little while, and now i forget. Anyway I have windows XP but its like a trial version my friend let me use. And I love it and im getting the actual version this weekend. I need to know how to reformat my computer so i can instal XP please help

Just put the XP CD in the drive and start it up. The process to partition, format, and install is all built in.

Sterling_aug is right. Just put the XP cd in your cd-rom drive and start the PC. When it boots from the XP cd the installation process will start and you will be given the chance to format your drive.

I got xp pro, now what and how do you format xp. What do you do in the bios what do you change to get the cd disk xp to boot from it and not from a drive, you know what do you do to get it to work, what do you change, OK . LARRY STEFFA.

just go to this website http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/windowsxp_sg_clean.asp

How do you reformat a Windows XP hard drive when you DO NOT have a Windows XP CD-ROM? I was not given a Windows XP CD-ROM when I bought my computer. XP was already installed on hard drive. The commands for reformatting a Windows 98 hard drive--> C:\>FORMAT C: /S in MS-DOS mode do not work for Windows XP. I have a Windows 98 CD-ROM. Thanks.
