Hey, I am wanting to refomat my hard drive but I do not have any recovery Cd's and that kind of stuff. In other words, all I have is my computer and my Win XP CD. Can anyone tell me if I can do the reformat and if I could possibly download some kind of software to allow me to do this? My hard drive info is: Maxtor 4R060L0 60GB 5400 RPM Ultra-ATA/133 PS- I am trying to delete ALL of my hard drive because I am selling it, an well, nothing should be on it... Thanks.
Put the XP cd in the drive and restart, you may need to go into your bios and tell it to boot from the cd, you will be given the option of formatting the hdd when it boots from the cd. You will need to delete the partition b4 you can format.
thing is... Im sure I have done that before... but I will try it again and will let you know how it went
Ok, if you want to delete everything then deleting the partition will do that then all you need to do is format and install windows.
