This is a problem I am having with my laptop.
I tried to reinstall XP, but for some reason my cd drive would not let me
boot from cd, so i installed XP when XP was already running.
it installed successfully, except my hard drive says there is about 40 GB
used (which is probably the stuff from before).
how can i remove that stuff? or even better, how can i format my hard drive
without having to boot from CD (cuz i cant). ?

ANY help is GREATLY appreciated.

You may have to enable boot from cd in the bios.
