I here type C:/ should be there after type format C: and tap enter. it will delete your whole hard drive! [you only need to do this if windows is still on it] Then type E: and tap enter. Insert your windows cd and type setup and tap enter. Follow the instructions and windows setup should apper set all things up. You can also do it with windows is still on there just don't select save files before installing. I have only done this with windows 98
and me but will probably work with others too. Hope you found this helpful. If you need more help email me at: Mack1300@hotmail.com

498202 2006-11-13 08:37:00 And another problem I've found out today is my HDD is a serious problem. Because before the XP corrupted on the Western Digital HDD the booting up in DOS is quite fast and after reformating the HDD and reinstall XP the booting up is slower than ever.
Is this the early symptoms of HDD dieing?:dogeye: I mean even my old HDD is way faster.

498203 2006-11-13 10:06:00 you could try putting it in to an external case and hooking it up to another machine to extract the data.
or just use those backups that everyone does when they have important data:rolleyes:
