reformat lol

lol, I checked google first, don't worry.

I don't have my xp discs. I can't access My Computer due to a virus. I can't use system restore.

Are there any other options? I'm sure you can format with msdos, but I don't know how... I'm having problems finding info on the google since most people only offer the "boot your xp disc" option.

PS: I'm using windows xp.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'm not really losing much if I wipe the HD, to be honest I've been thinking about doing it for other reasons, this just gives me a need for it. I save everything on an external so I'm only losing installed programs which are easily replaced.

I'll see if I can even find myself with a computer that can burn disks, at the moment I'm left using Ubuntu right off the CD, my ps3 and my work computer. Limited options. I would much rather wipe and install ubuntu for now until I get my disks back in a few monthes...

So how do you do it with msdos?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

yea, that ended up happening.

thanks for the help folks.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
