You can connect the modem to the new one no problem, throw the old one out the window.

you can take your hdd to some other guy's computer.And let him help you to format it.
Or you can use your window xp disk to format it.just boot from the disk,get into the console mode,which is like dos mode.you can type some commands there,including format.if you want to format the partition c,the commant is like this "format c: /q".

before you get into the console mode,you need admin. password.
