Formating my C Drive
 |
This is my first post. I recently received a computer with windows 2000 that has administrative rights! I would like to format the HD and reload with win XP. I have no idea how to do this function??
Any help on this matter would be appreciated.:rolleyes:

My biggest problem is adminstrative rights.
If I don't have to reformat C pls let me know an alternative, but have to disable the rights???
Well with 95/98 all you had to do was delete a .pwl file but with 2000/XP you have to crack the pass by means of brute force, I would like to go deeper into how but im not sure I should, I am new here and I'm not sure if even for informational purposes that would be tolerated.

If you really mean to do it, then once you have an XP installation CD, boot from it. It will give you the option to format your c: drive before installing XP.

Thanks for all the help.
What I require is a way to format C or unplug/disconnect the administrative rights?

Yep - just boot from the XP cd and you will be able to delete and recreate the partition and then install XP from scratch.

Hi,
I don't know how to disable Administrative Rights but if you are willing to install XP over 2000 (and reformat in the process) then here is an article with info how to do this.
