My fault ...

Hello,

How can I format my entire HD with Win XP installed on it? A few years ago I could just leave windows and enter DOS to format the HD and reinstall windows but that's not possible any more, right?

Can someone help me out or give me a thread where this problem is solved?

Thanx,

Bare Nature

Boot to the XP CD, and start a new install. This will wipe (format) the drive, and install fresh. No need to use diskettes any more.
