Ok your problem is simply the boot order and I think the guy above me just mis typed but he meant, set the boot order to CD then Hard Drive press F10 in most systems to save your settings. With your CD in the computer turn it on and it will eventually prompt you to press any key to boot to cd. At the point Press any key. It will start to load the windows files it will come to a point where you get the option to add partitions delete partition or format the hard drive. Go ahead and make your selection and precede you will be on the right track to reloading your OS.
Reply:If you are trying to reinstall XP from CD, you need to make sure you BIOS boot order is CD then Hard Drive, boot to the CD, format hard drive, install Windows, and then (you don't have to but it's nice) set your BIOS boot order back to hard drive first.

Reply:There is no point going to your desktop to format your hard drive. You cannot format your hard drive from your hard drive.


It must be done from a floppy disk or a CD.





You should try and boot in safe mode and then select Last Know Good from the menu options.





It is pointless trying to format a drive that has already been formatted. Find out to fix your problem some other way.
