So my computer won't load the desktop. How do I re-format the hard drive to factory new?

Hi there Legoguy626,
Keep in mind that the issue you are facing, might not be related to your HDD. Also, in case you have some data stored on the drive, you may want to use some data recovery tool for DOS (as your computer won't boot) first.
After that, you can check this extensive tutorial out, on how to reset your PC: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17085/windows-8-restore-refresh-reset-pc
