I need help formatting my hard drive. The only OS i have on here is
Linux and I can't boot my XP cd. I think Linux is interferring with
the boot process, so I'm tryin to format my hd and install XP first.
The problem is, I don't know how to format this thing inside the Linux
environment, I know I need to be outside of the OS to format, but how
do I get to a command line outside of Linux? Or maybe someone else
can give me another idea. Thanks
