uninstall XP

Hello.

some months ago i bought a new pc. with vista.. i hated it..
Now my comp crached, and i got a new hard disk. BUT! befor installing Vista again i inserted a XP disk to use XP again.. But then all the drivers ****ed it upp.

So do anyone know how to formate the hard disk that the XP is on?? i rly got a hard time doing it...


And please help me asap.. Age of Conan is soon releasing here in norway... and i want everything on my comp upp and runing intill that xD

 

There's a couple of ways to format the drive: remove it from the PC, hook it up to a working PC (either as a slave if it's IDE, or on a free SATA header if it's a SATA drive, or use a USB adapter/enclosure). Then right click My Computer > Manage > Disk Management. Right click the drive and select 'format'. Or- use a bootable drive utility. Most of the hard drive manufacturer's have them on their web sites as free downloads, or use one of these:

They're all free, and I've personally used the first two and they work great.

If you plan on reloading Vista (since XP didn't work) you can just boot to the Vista install disc and use the advanced option during the partition setup to format the drive.

Good luck!

Never thought about hocking the hard disk to an other pc.
But its a laptop, with the vista in the first hard disk i gonne formate is the second.. if ihad the vista CD i would allready have fixed the problem
