Windows XP help

[Mike G]

Guys;

I need to wipe out a HDD that runs WINXP, and reload XP from a CD.

I know how to do it on an older operating system, but I cannot find notes on how to do it without a startup disk.

Any help would be appreciated.

Anyone????

Right click the drive on My Computer and format.

I think at least.

Mike, When you boot from the XP Installation Disc, doesn't it give you the option of formatting the HDD and doing a clean install?


Here's irony for you: I just spent the last two weeks cloning XP Laptops for the entire department, and now I can't remember how I installed XP on the first laptop. I'm pretty sure all I used was the one CD.

jeffreyliu838, how would that work without a second OS?
