Hey guys. I interrupted an install of windows xp pro on my system cos the disk was dodgy. I want to wipe what's on there and sart again, but the problem is, my computer has the boot record installed, and it tries to boot up windows, then fails with a 'NTLDR is missing' error.

I need to find a way of formatting my drive and starting again, but I can't get into cmd or anything. Is there some way of making a floppy disk that will allow me to format my C drive? Though I'm not even sure if the drive is named C anymore!?

Thanks,

Leon.
