Prob with window XP

[DBoy1612]

If you want to do a full reformat of your Hard Drive, then there's no need to uninstall Windows, it's going to get deleted anyway.

Put your Windows XP CD, reboot your Computer. A screen should come up asking "Do you wish to boot from disc, press any key". After that, it will load the Windows blue installation screen. Read the instructions there to deformat a hard drive, then reformat it, and reinstall Windows. Done.

If the "Do you wish to boot from disc, press any key" doesn't come up. Look for a hotkey you can press just as your computer starts. I think it's F7 or something that allows you to set where you want your PC to look for a boot file. If you find it, change it that it checks your CD drive first, and then your hard drive.

Oh, and I hope you've made backups of everything if you're going to reinstall.
