Reformatting your hard drive is easy. You don't need a computer specialist charging $35 an hour to tell you how to do that.

You might want him to tell you how to reinstall Windows, though.

With XP, reformatting and installing is easy, anyone can do it...

You don't need a specialist to reinstall windows. All you have to do is pop the disk in and choose "boot from cd-rom". Silly people...

You need to make a boot disk to reinstall windows.

And anyway, I know how to format.

That symantec site rules. Saved my ass a few times thanks to you Kas.

Ahnk, if your BIOS supports booting from CD, then you don't have to use a boot disk anymore.

Well, my old BIOS didn't. My new one might, but whatever.

I don't want to format and find out that it doesn't.
