Hi. I have never reformatted and reinstalled an operating system before. Can
anyone list the procedure to do this, or a weblink with directions on how to
accomplish this? About the only thing I know that I have to do is to unhook
everything except for the monitor, keyboard and mouse.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Kevin

Simply boot from the WinXP installation CD and pay careful
attention to the on-screen instructions and prompts. You'll be
offered the opportunity to delete, create, and format partitions as
part of the installation process.
