    i suggest that you go back to the source of your XP disk supplier Egyptian Hak is exactly what it says and is a warez copy

    if you can buy XP at a good price then that is the best option a lot depends on what you want to do with the PC as to the OS that you use.

    you should be able to find a discounted copy of XP Home/pro now as a lot of PCs come with Vista it will just be a case of looking around.

    if you get a genuine copy to install it should automatically offer you the choice to format the HD and in doing so should get rid of the WAREZ OS

    good luck

    is your xp home a genuine windows legit copy? or is it part of that egyptian hak? if it is a windows legit copy, then i'd run darkiks boot and nuke. basically, it creates an .iso file, and you burn that to a cd via your s/w (like nero). this will ensure that your h/d is wiped clean (it will do 3 passes). g/l, sos
