Quick reformat question..

[RabidRodents]

Searched on microsoft and this forum but saw nothing, in a hurry. To toatally reinstall windows on a clean slate do I insert the W-Xp cd and pick something? Or what?

Anything I should know before I reformat? No internet connection, backup data.. anything else?

I think I have to call india too..

Make sure your computer can boot to a CD drive.
Put the XP cd in the computer, and restart.
Following the on screen instructions, pay attention to when it gives you the option to delete a partition, which it sounds like you want to do.

Have fun!

Make sure to press c and create a partition before pressing enter to install windows. Otherwise the installation fails.
