Where the button kep in window xp?

The one that says "ive fuck'd up my pc and want to delete everything!"

 

Have you tried or do you mean System Restore? :

Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore

 

im assuming he means re formatting his pc

 

nope ill give it a go, but will probably manage to screw it up even more

 

yep thats the one

 

Can you do this through XP ? - surely windows would be wiped out by formatting - unless you've got the restore program files partitioned off somewhere?

 

you need to get a boot disk with DOS on it which has the format command in.
thats probably not very helpful but thats what you need

** saying that, XP will ask if you want to format when it reinstalls.

what you could do is make a dos boot disk, boot off it into DOS, rename the windows directory as something else then whack in your XP cd
