Can someone please tell me how to reformat my hard drive
with windows xp. I have tried it with the xp cd but it's
not seeing all of my hard drive. It only sees 10gig and I
have a 30 gig hard drive. Thank you
 
use fdisk or disk manager utility it will format
or boot computer with cd of xp or a booot floopy
and type
a:\>format c:
this will do the job
 
Is your HD partitioned? If when the CD starts up and
asks you if you want to format and you say yes, then it
will show you the partitions. You can delete the
partitions so there is only one, format, and then install
the OS. That will make it so the whole HD is used.

Good Luck
