just boot from your XP cd

when you go to reinstall, you will have the option to format the drive

Look into FDSIK, reboot, and the format. This can be
done at DOS PROMPT. Then install XP CD into D drive and
reboot .

Go to HELP and review FDISK ,and format. I did this last
year because a HD virus problem.. Let me kNow if everthing
works out OK.
