    Hi
    I use XP home and want to format my C drive and reinstall everything. I have done this once before but I am struggling to remember how I did it!!
    Is it:
    Command prompt - format c:
    then insert MESH recovey disk on restart
    or
    do I need to use a floppy first? If so how do i create one?

    Thanks

    If you have a Recovery disk it will automatically format the drive and reload an image of the drive as originally supplied.

    Ensure that your boot order in BIOS is CD > Floppy > Hard drive and boot from the Recovery CD.
