All you should have to do is place the disk in the drive, then restart with
the disk in the drive. You will be given the option to install, repair or
reformat from the first few screens you see.

Subject: [PCBUILD] XP CLEAN INSTALL

is it possible to Fdisk/formatt a Dell computer and do a fresh install of xp
from the disk that came with the computer.I tried 4 times and all it does is
go over the original install.
If you have info that will work,please make it a simple step by step if at
all possible.( the 60s done a lot of gray matter damage ).
