You previously stated you wanted to install an operating system.

Usually with most OS installations you can choose to format the drive during installation. What OS are you trying to install?

And why can you not do it from USB? Does your laptop not support booting from USB? Try updating your BIOS if that is the case

780420 2009-06-09 20:51:00 thanks bro,but i still in search of another technique for formating(may be it is a kind of software)... amit4u (14905)
780421 2009-06-10 00:08:00 Software needs to run off something. You can try something like a network boot if you know how to set that up and have an ethernet port on the laptop. Blam (54)

Just where did the original poster say that he/she wanted to install an operating system?

It may be that he/she wants to give or sell the laptop to another person with a newly formatted hard drive so as to destroy or remove the current data. And we both know that data can be recovered off a formatted hard drive anyway unless you use something like kill disk.
