334316 2005-03-15 06:53:00 Are you doing a clean install / booting from the CD??? Not within Windows??

Whats ps? or is that PC?

334318 2005-03-15 07:08:00 you have to put the cd in, reboot and go from there Prescott (11)
334319 2005-03-15 07:09:00 You can use a boot disk or a program like partition magic 8 to format you disk Overdrive_5000 (4950)
334320 2005-03-15 07:10:00 You cant format it if youre in XP, u have to boot from CD, so it can format and reinstall XP. (change the bootdisk in BIOS to cd).

Just make sure u copy whatever u want (documents, email addresses, bookmarks from your browser), to another partition (if u have one), or a disk/floppy, before u do format tho.
