FORMAT with Win XP cd

This is another way of formatting your HDD.This time, let's try formatting and installing OS(I choose Win XP for this).Let assume that you have a new HDD or a HDD with broken OS.You cant boot into Windows.This two cases is actually can be considered as same( if you want to solve the broken OS problem by formatting the HDD).Sometime, there are other options to solve problem #2(broken OS).You just need a little knowledge, confident and guts to do it.

Now, you should have a Windows XP cd, make sure it's not the upgrade version.You need a bootable Windows XP cd or else this wont work.And, the second important thing you should have is the "driver".We will need this to install most of your hardware in the computer(graphic card, sound card, blue tooth, card reader etc.)If you dont have a driver cd for your hardware, you will found some difficulties during the end of Windows installation.

Many people got panic or blurred when formatting their HDD with this technique because they're afraid of the black screen, blue screen, and etc.Dont get panic just because of that.You will find it easy to do it if you stick to the instruction given in the screen...
