put in your operating system disc, reboot, boot from the disc, and format that way.

Your best option when parting with a computer would be to do a complete system re-format. Did you get a system restore cd with the machine? Or do you have a Windows operating system cd you could use to re-install from scratch? If not....find a friend who can do it for you!

Insert your Windows Operating System disk and reboot.  Check the BIOS settings if it won't reboot.   Once you reboot, begin the installation.  When it gets to the point of WHERE, select that partition for Deletion, then allow the installation program to format the hard drive.  \n\nIf you do not have the Windows installation disk, GET ONE. \n\nGood luck

If you want to format, you need at least a boot diskete or cd rom with the file Format.com of Microsoft. after this, you need the boot/install disk for the O.S. you want to install!! if you want to format and use again Windows XP there is no way to do without the oem install provided disk or the standard install disk. Other procedures aren´t so easy (as example, make a image of the disk, format and reinstall the image, but it implies that your have created that imege without failures, if not, you will reinstall the errors and/or the viruses you want to eliminate with the format)

Your best bet is to boot from floppy or CD and just repartition/reformat the hard drive.

If you have a Windows boot disk or even any Operating System installation CD, you can format the hard drive by opening up the formatting utility or "installing" the operating system.\n\nSome bios(es) have formatting capabilities. FDISK.exe is the executable that could also be used if you can at least start up in DOS mode.\n\n***Remember you might lose important information.

You will need to reformat the computer and wipe the slate clean.\n\nTo format your harddrive you will need to get a recovery disc or a Windows CD. \nNo boot disc is necessary unless you are trying to install Windows 95. \nThe recovery disc will usually come with your computer, if you dont have one, you will need to call your computer manufacturing company and order one. \nThe recovery disc and the windows CD will partition your harddrive and it will wipe out your memory and start from fresh. \n\nIf you have more questions about reformatting, please contact me.

Depends on how drastic you wanna be. Even after formating some data can still be recovered by someone who knows what he/she is doing.\n\nMy Solution:\n1) Boot pc with boot disk.\n2) Use Fdisk to delte partition and recreate it \n3) Use the Format C: /U command (unconditional format)\n4) Bootup with windows XP or 2000 cd and when installing choose format as NTFS partition.\n\nNote: When deleting the current partition and recreating it as either fat or fat32 and afterwards reformating as NTFS it makes it virtualy impossible to do a data recovery on the disk.
