Thanks Steve Chris and Frank,
I have two hard drives but it's just the C: I want to format as thisis the one with all my apps, trojans, junk on. The 2nd drive holds all my video, photo's, music etc. Both drives are non-partitioned (i.e. one is C: @ 40GB and the other is D: at 120GB).
I have produced the six XP setup disks as per the Microsoft Support site.
They run fine at 'bootup' but at the end of the 6th disk, you are asked to insert your XP Setup CD and press Enter. My XP Setup CD is already in the drive and I press Enter. The screen flickers for a split second and the message remains "insert your XP Setup CD and press Enter"........ I can press Enter all day and nothing happens. It just hangs there at the 6th disk screen.
Even if I can get to a stage in DOS where I get the option to format my drive, I am very reluctant to do this knowing my XP Setup CD isn't acting like it should. Once my data and OS are gone I'm knackered if I can't get past 'go' to putting it back on.
