Format HD?

Depends what hdd it is. THe one with your OS on it? You would have to format with a windows OS cd, or linux Cd. If its your slave drive, just go under my computer, right click on the drive, and click format.
 
it is the drive with my OS on it. so i have to have a copy of the OS if i format it? that is stupid lol. isn't there an easier wayt?
 
Pop in a windows OS cd in your computer to format it. If you have another HDD with an operating you can use that, and do what i said in my previous post. You can also make a floppy drive that will format your hdd.

PS-Even if you didnt have to use an OS cd, you would still need one to run and OS correct?

Yes. Go to www.bootdisk.com and make a DOS bootdisk. Put it in your compouter and reboot it, it should go to a C: prompt. Type "format C:\" (no quotes) and wait for it to be done. After it is finished, remove the disk, hit ctrl-alt-delete, and stick in the OS cd that you are going to install.
