I'm going to reformat my parents hard drive, but when I looked on th internet to find exactly what to do, I realised that they only give instructions for reinstalling the same operating system as there was previously . I would like to get rid of everything on the hard disk, but instead of re-installing windows 98, I'd like XP in . The guides talk about needing a boot disk, but would this be a boot disk from an XP machine or 98?
Could anone either point me in the right direction, so that I can find the neccessary guide, or give detailed instructions on what I need to do here.
Thanks
