Hello I am just bought a second user computer and the original owner seems
to have removed a number of programs and files. The resulting drive is
fragmented and although it has been defragged I would like to reformat the
hard drive so that I can effectively install what software and files I
wish.



I would be grateful if anyone could post with how you do it as I have
never reformatted a hard drive before. I have windows XP Home that I will
put on after the drive is formatted but just need instructions on
formatting the drive.



Thanks



Colin
