All I want to do is start over....

[rivethead]

I'm trying to install Windows XP Home on a new AMD 64 S939 system with a Chaintech VNF4 Ultra and a Seagate 160 GB SATA.

I previously started the install, but stopped it when I got to the Windows Install screen (not the text screens before, but the one after the Windows XP Home boot up screen). I ran out of time (and also realized I didn't partition the way I wanted), so I turned the computer off.

All I want to do is start over....as if I had just installed a brand new clean hard drive. Is there any way to do that from DOS and/or the BIOS?

I asked about starting the install all over on another post earlier today and was told to just reinsert the book disc....but when I do that, the install just continues from where it left off. I cannot find any way to stop this install!!

Please help, I'm frustrated.

About 1/2 way down I have instructons on how to do exactly what you want

Alvinator's having a hardware problem, but we'll solve that with some more troubleshooting . .
try it, it should work for you.

Thanks CaptnKirk....that worked.

What I was ignoring was the fact you could "disable" the HD in the boot priorty. Instead I set priorty #1, #2, and #3 to CD hoping this would cause the system to just boot from CD and not get to the HD. But that didn't work.

Thanks again....
