not quite as simple as that crown.
you can't format a drive you are runing from, so you need to make a startup flopy, (put it in the drive, rightclick, chose format, and there should be an option to make bootable or somthing like that)
then restart, booting from the flopy, then you can format your HD.

'course, it's a lot easyer if you just boot from a windows CD and reinstall windows and tell it to format before reinstalling.

but yea, your best bet is to startup from your windows CD and there should be somthing like "restore factory settings" and that'll fix you right up.
