See i tried that, but when the screen came up "press any key to boot from CD", i pressed space bar then this page came up: in the middle of the on the left side it said DEL: setup then it said F11 for what i think it said windows setup, and F12 for networking and stuff. But i press DEL and it didn't even respond so i hit escape and it started well atleast what i think its doing, scaning my hd. After its done with that it goes to this blue screen with the following options, ENTER to continue, F3 to exit setup. I'll be honest i might of got some of the words and screen order wrong for the stuff that i just posted.

Ok i can't seem to get my current computer to wipe its hd's. Do you think i could just take them out anyway put them in the new computer and then try to reformat?

I'm running out of options, and i really don't know how to reformat at all, i've tried everything. My current computer is a POS

It says that i don't have any disc drives installed, and yep i think its bs'n because how do i have stuff stored on them if it says that. My computer is just being a pos i think.
