to format with dos, just go into it outside of windows, like dont use a dos prompt, use a boot disk to boot with dos. then type format c:/ (whichever your drive letter is).

**again, this will wipe everything on the drive, make sure you have a working cd with an os or a restoration cd which should have come with your computer if it was prebuilt by a manufacturer**

That’s really cool. If I had the time I’d make a show for you, but I have no idea. Maybe every once in a while I could be a guest DJ or something when I get the time. Dunno… Just thinkin out loud.

hey i found out how to do it thro dos

if u want it here it is

first u should have startup disk for windows 98

1- put the disk and start the computer (let the computer first boot from floppy drive).

2- it will ask you that u want to install windows 98 or start computer with cd rom suprot or without it go for start computer with cd rom support.

3- after u choosed the previouse option u should be able to use the cd rom doesn’t matter type the following command to format the computer

C:&gt;cd windows

C:\windows\>cd command

C:\windows\command\>format C:

if u want to format another drive tye the drive letter after format like …mand\>formart D: or E: or anything.

after that it will ask u confirmation letter are u sure type yes and it will proceed after fiish formastting it will ask u also to type the drive name keep it empty or tye anything u like, like ur name.

after that restart the computer and also make sure that it should boot from CD u know how to do it i think from bios motherboard setup and after that i think u know t complete the setup of XP it’s easy.

Well, XP is a lot simpler. Simply put your XP Cd in, and restart your computer. Make sure your computer reads from the CD drive before it boots Windows. If it recognizes the XP CD, it will ask you whether you want to “repair” or “continue installing XP”. Select the latter option and follow the steps to formatting and installing Windows XP =)

Cheers!
