Does the repair/recovery disc for Windows xp need any sort of installing before I can format my hard drive with it? My computer has a virus that doesn't allow installing of programs. I want to know before I order it from eBay.. I don't know much about this sorta thing

Jump to PostWhat computer have you got? Have you checked to see if it has a recovery partition?
Jump to PostWhy do you say it is a virus? what happens when you try to install? what are the programs you tried to install?
usually windows XP CD will give you an option to repair if you boot from the CD . No need to buy a seperate CD to repair
