    First make sure you have a starting disk with basic OP (for instance XP or 98) on it.
    Than type format c:/u to delete all windows data and all other data from that drive (if c is the drive with windows)
    If you have more than one OP on the computer in different drives, do not format c , as all data how to reach other OP's will be erased than as well.

    If you want to install any other OP on c do as above, and afterwards restart the computer with the OP CD in the CD drive.

    Note : just the "format c: "command will not delete all windows files.
