Boot the computer with the Windows XP cd and follow the on screen instructions. After you accept the EULA you will be shown available disks on your computer and you will be able to partition and format your disk at that screen. Unless you have a compelling reason to do otherwise, format your partition "Full NTFS". At that screen, after you delete and create partitions, exit the setup and reboot the computer and start the setup again, that will avoid drive letter assignment mix ups, like having Windows end up on a drive letter other than C.

Hi there,
I was having loads of prblems with trying to reinstall windows (do a search for jc) and I,m not sure where i got the idea, but i ran fdisk on my computer and now i have major problems. For a start I wasn't sure which options to press and i'm ashamed to say i tried all or most of them and now my computer can't even read from drive c. The plan was to wipe the drive and then reinstall windows. After I ran the dreaded fdisk thingy , from a floppy disk, i tried to go to drive c and i got this message,..............
"invalid media type reading drive c. I could acces the xp setup disk from drive x: " but when i tried to run this i got this message........."this program cannot be run in dos mode.........."
Please, please help.This is my daughters computer and i am now the most hated dad in the UK.
Ta for all help.
