Reformat Problems

[Guest]

Hi, my computer has been slowing downconsiderably lately. I have decided to
reformat it but i have been unable to. I restart windows on the CD, but when
it asks me where i would like to install windows, i can't delete my existing
partition. The reason givin is "temporary setup files on this partition are
needed to install windows." What doI do so that i can reformat?
