Could you provide a bit more info regarding the physical description of your pc?
You are running Win XP on pentium II..? How much memory do you have and how many hard drives are installed? How are you trying to format the hard drive (with os on it)? |

You cannot format an active OS hard drive in Windows. You have to boot with the XP CD and format it as part of a reinstall.
