Allright, been having this problem for quite some time now.
I want to format my computer since it's going a bit slow & stuff, and it's been a year, so it's cluttered up with useless stuff... I backed up all my files on my second HD, and I wanted to format my computer, but it doesn't load the CD on bootup.
Things I have tried:
Anyone got an idea why it doesn't want to work? I don't feel like bringing it to the store and having to pay 40$ for a format while I can do it myself (did it before)
Thanks!

Things I have tried:
- Get a new windows CD from the store I bought my computer from
- Checked my BIOS and thrown around the boot order a few times, no success
- Connect my CD drive instead of my CDRW drive and did number 2 again, no success
- Tried calling them, they suggested some stuff, no success
- Try to FORCE it by only putting my CD drive in the boot list in my BIOS, no sucess
- Use a bootdisk, but it always said "invalid drive specified" when I tried going into my disk drive (both CD and DVD)
