[mrUnderdog]

i've been looking through all the faq's and didn't find one on how to wipe a hard drive to clean install an os. I have to do this since i have a motherboard/os conflict and i've been told i need to reset the CMOS and reinstall my os. some help would be appreciated

Boot off your boot disk and do a FORMAT C: /S if you are using 95/98/Me and then install the OS. If using NT4/W2K/XP, just boot off the CD and you will have partitioning/formatting options in the setup program.

Just boot off of your Win98SE, Win2K, WinXP CD, and when it asks you, simply format the harddrive.
