for thoes who are trying to do the same as i did, do any of you have a system restoration disk? if so follow promps to write zeros to disk at boot of computer. if no disk, compleatly turn off computer then start up computer again, after a few seconds you will see a black screen with a blinking cursor at the top left of the screen. while you see the blinking cursor press and hold the control key. it will take you to a boot screen, and will ask if you want to boot from hard drive or a disk. From a either or you will get a menu of options on what you are looking for. you can also use your back up floppy disk you made upon installing your O/S.
