Last but not least the option to reformat the hard drive by following: (In My Computer, right-click the drive, select format and hit "Format.") This will not work if the hard drive you are trying to wipe is your only hard drive or your main hard drive in which your current Windows XP is installed. If you don't have a Windows XP CD and you are thinking of buying one and wondering if you can upgrade to the newer Windows 7 then you have to download Windows 7 Upgrage Advisor which is a small software available from Windows website for free () This utility scans your PC for potential issues with your hardware, devices, and installed programs, and recommends what to do before you upgrade. The other recovery partition which comes with the laptop can only restore your computer to an earlier time. Since you already pressed the F10 and it only showed you the PhoenixBIOS setup utility so I am going to guess that you don't have the newer computer which comes with this utility.() Check your computers manual or online to see if you have this option. For Example: Pressing F10 during boot on HP computers will bring you to a restore menu. This can usually be accesses by pressing a key during the boot process.

Without the CD you will not be able to install windows on your pc.Īs far as the recovery partition goes there are two kinds of recovery partition. The tutorial posted above is for formatting your hard drive partition and reinstalling Windows XP using the Windows XP installation CD.
