#Youtube how to reformat hard drive from bios install#

Make sure any important stuff (pics, letters, documents, etc) are saved on a disc, ofcourse!! Well if anyone can point me in the right direction or give some advice I would appreciate it.

I do not want any corrupt files or garbage (like spyware, etc.) screwing up the install. We did get mileage out of that OS.ДЄny way, since then I've increased the RAM from 128 to 384 (SDRAM) and put in a new processor (from P2 450 to P3 850), I feel more comfortable trying a new OS.ДЄnyway, do I need to erase the hard drive first or will the XP installation do that for me. Is this a waste of time for XP? The computer is currently running Windows 98 (and I think it's been on there since about that time.actually, I think we tried Windows 2000 once.but that was the only reformat that I know of).

I did find a word document giving me steps to install Windows XP (which I will be installing), but it leaves some questions unanswered.ДЇirst of all, I imagine I should download all the updated drivers I can find for my hardware. I searched the forums, but was unable to locate one. I have never done it before and so would like a help or a walk through.

Just as the title above says, I would like to reformat a hard drive.
