project51 Posted March 17, 2006 CID Share Posted March 17, 2006 Do you mean "Clean install"? You can do that by booting to the WindowsXP installer CD. From here, you can reformat the drive, and fresh install XP. And no, you cannot reformat the harddisk from Guest account. Even if you can logon to the adminstration account, you cannot reformat the harddisk either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
