How to format windows xp

[Old_Geezer]

You don't format an operating system. You format disk drives (and other magnetic media).

Good afternoon Mahesh and welcome to Answerbank.
Manners cost nothing, you know.

To fomat a PC running XP I think you need to use the Windows XP disc, that has an option to format I believe.

[Bathsheba]

Unbelievable.

[RATTER15]

^^^^ and you get there by using the Windows XP disc.

I agree Baths, it doesn't take a lot to be polite!

It's possible Mahesh's first language is Indian and they are unaware of how terse their use of English appears.

Maybe MaheshD didn't realise the nature of AB and was expecting a more automated response. not an education on netiquette.

Difficult to imagine what one might be selling that'd be useful formatting a disk drive. If true one may as well advertise immediately in the OP and get it removed faster.
