Hi
I want to completely start again with my computer. I have a brand new
copy of XP SP2 to install.
The problem is the mess left behind by the previous person who
installed XP SP1.
The set up is password protected. Thus I can't get in to get the
system to boot off the XP Disk.
I really want to do a clean install and reformat the disk to NTFS.
I've tried just running the XP disk but it installs on top of the
exsisting install.
I try to format C but get a message to say Windows cannot format this
drive, quit any utilitiesor other programs that are using this drive,
and make sure no window is displaying the contents of the drive. Then
try again
Any ideas please
