I'm sorry if this is the wrong forum...

I recently contracted the loveletter virus... (don't ask me how)

Anyways it went rampant on my comp and destroyed a whole bunch of files...

A friend and i totally cleaned up the virus but when we tried to reformat C: all the old ways don't work anymore with XP...

I have a pretty dirty install of it anyways right now so i was planning to do this anyways (me upped to 2000 upped to XP)

How do i reformat my HD and clean install everything? I have all the software on hand but I don't know how to do it without DOS which XP doesn't have...

if i'm not mistaking you can do a clean setup when you boot from wxp cd.
you can also format with a prog like partition magic.
