I feel thick even posting this but i am struggling to format my new custom built win xp pc. It's an Insurance Mandate replacement and is surprisingly properly cuistom built. However, i now need to format it and the last time i formatted a computer was good ole Win 98 which was the simple affair of
Enter DOS/Format C:/Are You Sure Y or N?/Y!
No longer the case, now i understand the way to do it on XP is to force it to boot from CD, however this PC doesn't give me the option and it loads into Win XP too quickly for me to see any message saying Press F12/Del to enter setup etc.
So currently i am unable to format this PC which has one complete and utter boot of a self replicating virus which won't go away and 5 different programs can't completely eradicate.
Ocuk, i need your help
Please note i have tried pressing Del/F12 during startup to no joy
