press the power button on the front of the PC :o.... that tends to shut down windows XP and restarts it LOL. If you mean your reinstalling windows well thats simple.... put the XP CD in n follow the instructions..... If your formating your PC...... well u should look into it more first lol.
I have 2 hibernate my pc now when i wanna turn it off cos its fuked!! it wont let me restart it or turn it off:confused:
he means wipe it clean like its new again. i think u need to get the recovery back cd's
Access DOS prompt.
Format C:/
It will ask are you sure... press Y
It will begin formatting. Make sure you've back up everything and have a Windows XP disc.
Then go into your BIOS and set it so that it reads either CD/Floppy Disc first (depending on if you have a boot up disc)
Then install Windows. Ta da you done.
Takes about 3-4 hours tops if you know what you're doing.
:)
i just hold the shut down button for 5 secs on my HD and it knocks off :) or i click shutdown button
i ment wipe it but im clueless so wot does every clueless peson do????
get someone else to do it;) my bro will do it for me lol

Best way to format i find is to plug another hard drive in.... That way you can back up your folders and formating is easy (if you have an OS on each one). I formated my other hard drive by making it the D:\ and going on my C:\ OS... into command prompt and simply type formate D:\. Simple as that..... but if you dont have another hard drive...... Beat it with a stick? I think windows XP has its own version of formating..... but its not that good.
just boot off the xp cd. u can format and install from there its quite easy :p

the way cap explained it, u dont gotta do it that way..
u should have got a little red disk with ya pc (floppy or CD)
if its floppy back up thnigs u want then turn off pc insert disc
turn on pc and follow it thru (very easy)
or just insert the cd and follow it thru
u should also read the manual that came with the pc
good luck
