I need to know how do i format a hard drive without installing a new operating system. I have done numerous reformats with the xp cd but i always have another operating system installing after the format. (this was erase and reinstall)
Well, i am now giving away my computer to my cousin. But i am not giving him the operating system. So all i need to do is erase the hard drive where when he first turns it on, it would say no operating system found.
I dont need to do the permanent erase, cant recover data EVER type stuff. I dont have anything important on the drive anyway so i am not worried. I jsut need to erase the operating system.
Thanks guys.
