Is there anyone who can tell me how to wipe out my entire
system myself so that I can Reinstall Windows and all my
other software?

Thank you so much
 
If you don't have one, you can get a bootdisk from bootdisks.com

Boot up, run fdisk, delete all the partitions, and you have a clean slate.

PS: Highly recommend you backup anything you need before attempting... also,
make sure you have all the install cds/disks you need too!
 
Your XP CD is bootable and has all the tools necessary for partitioning,
formatting and installing Windows XP.
You may have to boot into the BIOS and set the CD driver to boot before the
Hard drive does.
Then insert the CD and Reboot.
Watch the screen closely and it will tell you to press any key to boot from
the CD drive.
 
James;
Since The Windows XP CD is bootable and has all the tools necessary, a
boot disk is unnecessary.

Simply boot from the WinXP installation CD. You'll be offered
the opportunity to delete, create, and format partitions as part of
the installation process. (You may need to re-arrange the order of
boot devices in the PC's BIOS to boot from the CD.)

Why should the OP go to all that trouble when the WinXP CD is
bootable? Anyway, FDISK is an obsolete DOS utility and not needed for
WinXP.
