Hi Billy,Even if he did format the drive, he would still have to boot from the CD toreinstall, so I think he is going to have to change the BIOS.

An error message came up before the desktop. The message was asking him to Activate the copy of Windows XP Home. He now tells me the copy of XP 30 day evaluation has run out, and that was the problem all along. What he is now asking if you don't mind is: How can he manage to format the HDD?.He does not have anyone sighted to help him change the boot sequence to bootoff the cod-room drive.He tells me the computer is an old packer bell system, sorry if the spellingis not correct. Is there anyway he can format the hard disk without changing the Bios?.
