Be warned that by reformatting you will lose any data stored on that partition.
For explicit instructions, what do you wish to do after reformatting?

I'm just going to re-install XP. Very aware that the reformat process isn't model specific but in one set of instructions someone gave me one of the first steps was to "chose option 4". Doesn't exist. Another was to insert "Blue" disk .... mine is green. Currently there are two OS's (both XP) on the system. I just want to clean everything off and then start fresh ..... I just can't find any instructions that work with what I have on the system now.
