Windows XP Pro ... How to reformat hard drive

[Larry]

I need help. Have to reformat my hard drive and need to
have a walkthru step-by-step to get it done. Can't seem
to get "boot" disks made.

Anyone that can help. Would be grateful for some expert
instruction.

You do it as part of a reinstall of the system after booting the XP CD
direct. Enter Setup, and after the license agreement take New Install.
When it asks you to confirm where, hit ESC; select and delete the
current partition and make a new RAW one to be formatted at the next
stage
