I was told i should have formattted my hard-drive 1st. How do i do that? Cant log-in & i have tried starting up the CD in the CD drive.

Hi TGR you may need to go into your BIOS and configure it to boot from the CD Rom. You can then load XP setup from the CD Rom delete/recreate partitions and format the hard disk and re install Windows.
