Do a fresh install of Windows......if you're using Win2k or WinXP, grab the bootdisks from here, run the bootdisk-creation program to save the relevant info to the floppy disks, and then reboot your machine with disk #1 in the drive...

Follow on-screen instruction from there, and it should have the option to format the drive during installation.

when yer computer boots up it should say something like 'hit del to enter setup'

or 'hit f2 to enter setup'

so when ya see that do whichever one it say on your computer

then go in there and find the boot order and set it so that the computer boots for CD.

Just use a Windows 98 Boot disk to format it through the dos prompt.

Then stick in 2000 or XP and it will boot from CD.

Simple as that.
