i can't reformat hd with winxp

[mojo]

i have win xp installed over win/me when i try to reformat via win/me boot disk i get invalid disk and i've tried several disk but it's a no go. i checked the control panel and there is no unistall for xp and win/me doesn't even show up. so how can i remove xp so i can do a clean install.

You can boot with the XP disk and format, select partitions etc. to do a clean install.
May have to go into your bios and select your cd-rom to boot first.

Do I have this right? Or do you want to get rid of XP and install ME.
Naw, that can't be right. :p

lol ur part right i would like to wipe the hd clean and start over.

mojo, Jaber' is correct. If you want to start over and install XP, you do it with the XP disk. You can partition and format right from the XP installation disk.

Give yourself some credit Nut Even if you think your wrong 99% of the time there is that 1% that you nailed it. Guess what % this was :D

YeeeHaaa! Whoopee! Check it out guys! I was right!!!! ;)

There is one thing that mojo's got me going on though...so how can i remove XP so i can do a clean install
For a minute after my post, I was thinking he might actually want to get rid of XP and do a clean install of ME. :eek:

What say ye mojo??
(edit)(Never mind.....You've got to mean a clean install of XP.) :D

Was messing around with things today and using an ME startup disk a lot. Mostly it worked fine, but I discovered that if I did a warm reboot from XP it would fail. Shutting down and turning off the power and then doing a cold boot seemed to correct things.

Not quite sure what was going on - but it's possible there was some yet undiagnosed hardware problem going on in the background, so I can't be sure if this is a fix or not.
