Hello
ive recently had alot of problems with my computer,
resulting in xp loading and crashing within seconds. It is
nearly impossible to do anything before it crashes. I have
no option but to reformat the hard drive,

the problem is how do i get it to do it?
is there away to stop windows loading?

i would just run the xp cd if i got chance but the
computer crashs before i have the chance to do anything.
thanks Al

Just boot from the Windows XP CD and follow the prompts for a
clean installation. It will do the reformat for you.
