How To Reformat

[jeff1000]

I DID SEARCH IT but never got a straight answer

Ok. How do i reformat, I have no clue where to start all I know is I am supposed to use the format c: command. Im on XP pro. Im pretty sure i CANT do it when Im logged in and such. So please a straight forward explanation would be greatly appreciated

You don't necessarily need to use the command prompt reformat.. Do you have an XP pro CD ? If so... SAVE WHAT YOU NEED, then boot to the CD... And select reinstall windows.
Make sure you delete the partition and format using NTFS.
