Thanks!!
computer question
- Thread starter Kdogg21
- Start date
I would just load Windows XP let it do a new install and wipe everything away, its usually the quickest and easiest way to do it.
if you f disk, make damn sure u have a startup disk, i hate to disagree with kma, he sure knows alot more about this stuff than i do, but i think all you really need to do,(and a lot simpler) is go to your c propmt, type format c: and follow the prompts. (no disk partitions that way) should do the trick
good luck

I was thinking he had his start up discs, why don't people hold on to those discs???
Windows XP needs a LOT of memory, I hope your comp. has enough to handle it.

KMA, the problem is alot of the computers sold now, DONT have the xp program on disk, they put it on a partition on the drive itself and that sucks, lost a hard drive a few months ago, had to go back to windows me cuz i was not going to buy xp.
