    Is this Windows XP or Vista, or something else?

    Here's a good link for reinstalling Windows XP as a "clean copy". Before you start, make sure you've saved any and all data files that you want to keep (because this will destroy anything on your hard drive). Also, make sure you have the drivers for your network card (NIC), your video card, your sound card, printer, etc.

    If it's a new computer why do you want to format it? We can help you with question about maintaining, repairing and using your PC, but you have to ask specific questions and give details about the problems you are encountering.
