Actually, you could format your hard drive if you put it in another computer and use Disk Management to format the partitions on it...but since you don't have your Windows CD you wouldn't be able to install a fresh copy of Windows (which is what you want to do I think).  Cricket

What cricket described was a complete format of your harddrive. This wouldn't exactly give your computer a 'fresh start' - it would erase all your data, and since you have no windows CD, there's no way of re-installing.
Sorry if that's labouring the point, just don't go pulling out your hard drive and formatting without first deciding what you want to achieve... Freakitchen
