I'm having trouble trying to reformat and reinstall XP. I want to erase the junk that is on the hard drive and add partitions, but I can't even get into FDISK. I've read the Radified Guide but obviously I'm doing something wrong. To make things more complicated I don't have a floppy drive to make a boot disk, Can you make one from a CD-R? I haven't had any luck with that.
I made things worse by reinstalling XP, it wouldn't let me delete the old partition saying that it was "temporarily using files from that location", so now somehow my old data is now taking up space but its not readable. Too bad I didn't do it the right way the first time.:o
