Would someone who knows a little about DOS please walk me through this
"clean delete" process, please. Once I get to the CD-ROM (E:\) drive part, I
understand it from the reinstall disk part. But, getting there is my
problem. Do I type "reformat" (without the quotes)?



Maybe the guy wants to do a low level format and completely clean off his hard drive better than microsofts prorams can do???




That would be a waste of time. There is no "low level format" since MFM and RLL drives were replaced by IDE.
