Thanks for the advice guys, but my issues are somewhat more complex. I need a way to erase all info on this PC. Back to square one, no OS...nothing.

Here is the situation:

I have Win. XP Pro in stalled on the following drives:

C
D
E

and a hidden directory that I have no access to.

In fact I have to select the OS and Drive I want to use everytime I re-start.

I have been able to work around it for several months, but as of last week I lost the abillity for my PC to read Graphics corectly. It is as if the Gamma is backwards!

I atribute it to the massive amount of useless shit I have in every corner of this damned Sony pos.

I want to eliminate all info in the PC and start over using just one drive ( C ) and I will install XP Pro from there.

I cannot use the disc because it is a student copy, and has no option to remove previous software.

I have tried to reinstall Pro, I have gone back to an earlier save point, I have deleted masive amounts of software thinking they may be the reason, I have tryed the suggestions presented so far.... all to no avail.

So, come on AAers, how do I delete all the info on my PC?
