Can you guys help me how to format my current hard drive and reinstall xp fresh? I have 100 g hard drive size, 1 g memory. It is intell processor. ThanksInsert the XP CD into your CD Rom and boot your system from this CD, in an option, you can delete partition, and CREATE new partition. I would do this to start as fresh as possible. Then select to format as NTFS when prompted to do so, then continue with the installation of XP. After the install is completed, you will have a clean install of it.

Make sure you backup any data from that 100gb drive if there is any important data, ALSO if this is a system that is already running but you want to clean install it, go to Hardware MANAGER and Device manager, write down what Devices you have and how they are set up, such as Ethernet Adapter (NIC), Video Chipset if integrated video, and the rest of the devices that sometimes are not supported through an XP OEM install and REQUIRE additional drivers.
