    Reformatting will remove everything on your dard drive including your operating system.
    Your computer will then need to have a new operating system installed.

    my boot disc has windows xp professional on it. and the computer just got done reformatting, so the major problem i had was fixed, and its a huge relief. the computer would restart over and over, i couldnt boot in safe mode, or any other mode, and if i disabled the one that says automatic restarts on system failure, a blue screen would come up talking about an error. but i think this reformatting from the boot disc did it. its still installing windows xp pro, i wont be completely sure its fixed until im online and using the computer.

    Ideally, that question would be asked before reformatting.   ;)
