Hi! I know on my old Windows models, I could reformat the
hard drive as soon as it booted up by hitting 'those
buttons'. But Windows XP loads straight through. Is there
any way to reformat the hard drive totally? Or does
System Restore serve the same purpose?
 
System Restore only returns Windows to a previous date/time.

To reformat the hard drive you must boot to DOS using a boot floppy.

Why do you think you have to reformat?
 
Assuming you might wish to Format the o/s drive, then you boot from the
winxp disk and do so from there.
It further depends whether you wish to repair or wipe everything on a
partition
