Hi Silvia, I do it like this, Make a floppy disk and make sure format.exe is on it, if it isn't then copy it from Windows folder to the floppy, Start the computer with the floppy then make sure it loads the CD drives, at the A:> type format C: it will tell you it will erase all info. click ok and you are on your way.
