No he cant, coz you cant format c: drive when u r running windows. windosw xp is in C: drive.

You must need a Windows Xp CD-rom if you format ur hard drive (c: drive). but if you format any other drive then u wont need any cd.

System restore is very helpfull, you can try it.
 
we did sytem retore but the viruses were still there and a week later it was right back to where we started
 
and also when i formatted my harddrive i needed the sound card software and the mother board and graphics card software and they dont have all that stuff

Goto the compaq site, find the make and model of the system you're working on and download the drivers beforehand :)
 
ok , and one more thing can they get another copy of windows xp from the compaq website if it is under warrenty or something?
