Hi , I have only one partation and I fedup with some problems from the laptop so I really want to delete everything and start a new life :D
You must read my other thread because it will help you to understand something I want to say
or I can say I can't do anything till the welcome screen comes so I cant log in safe mode etc.
Thx
 
You'll need a windows CD so you can format the drive and then reinstall Windows; unless you want to go with Linux.
 
Well first, if there is data you want saved( pictures, music, docs, etc.) back it up to an external hard drive or a flash drive, because formatting will delete it.

I imagine you'll be installing Windows XP, so here's a guide on how to do it.

Ignore the steps that talk about installing RAID drivers, as those most likely don't pertain to you. If you have any issues, post back.
 
Thx for replaying but I don't have any unallocated space I have only C partition and want to delete everything in it and setup it again
So when I am installing the windows there is no delete partition or create another partition .

When you are installing Windows, just format the current partition.
 
Ok I found delete partation but when i press it says
Setup is unable to perform the requested operation on the seleted paration this parataion contains temprory setup files that are reqired to complete thr installation
 
You must have started the install from inside Windows. Reboot the computer and boot to the CD.

You need to also download the motherboard drivers as the Windows XP will need them.

The only drivers you need, provided your system is connected to the internet, are the NIC drivers, then you can download all other drivers that you need direct to the system
