Help,
I need to wipe my son's Hard drive and re-install XP pro.
Well he's 13 going on 21 and he's been looking at stuff he shouldn't be even considering at his age.
Would someone send me a step by step procedure for formatting and re-installing XP pro?
I want to know how to boot from disc, changing the BIOS too.
The PC is a Compaq presario and, it's set up in a way that makes it hard to understand (For me).

Jump to Postok to boot from the disk you should enter your bios by pressing F2 setup(button may vary you should find it in the top right of your boot screen) then scroll to boot configuration open that up and make the order go cd-rom, floppy, hard drive just make your cd …
Jump to PostWallace, the 'Reinstalling Windows' link in my sig will lead you to a couple of articles. One is about preparing for the reinstall, and the other is about performing it. They're both very detailed, step by step guides.
