Computer Infected:

I realize that this response is nearly 10 days old, however, it took
me that long to back up my files and bookmarks since I don't have a
dedicated external/internal HD for backups (something I seriously need
to look at in the near future). So I am now ready to address to problem
(s) I've been having. I changed the Bios to load from the CD, then
started to install a fresh version of XP but I got a warning saying
another program already exists and it wasn't recommended that I
install another and it didn't give an option to format the disk.  My
Disk 0 shows this:

volume    layout    type    file system    status
capacity free space    % free   fault tolerance   overhead
             partition  basic       FAT       healthy (EISA config)
125MB    124MB       99%          no                  0%
(C        partition  basic     NTFS        healthy(system)
148.93GB 106.77GB  71%         no                   0%

below this it says:

Disk 0   125MB FAT                                       (C  148.93
GB NTFS
             Healthy (EISA Configuration)                      Healthy
(System)

My question is this; should I go to the command prompt and do a format
C: and then try and install a fresh copy of XP?

Thanks,

Robert

Sorry the information I tried to give got scrambled. It should read
as:
Disk 0 125MB FAT Healthy (EISA Configuration) (C 148.93 GB
NTFS Healthy (System) . If I have to reinstall the drivers for the
mouse, keyboard and monitor wouldn't I need to click or use the
keyboard to install them in the first place? How do I get around this
or does the driver allow this?


Many Thanks,

Robert
