yeah using the win-xp disc is the way to do it...  
 
i'm not sure how to just re-format your system w/o the disc... I actually think you can't do it otherwise...  
 
PS. I like the "iqon pentuim d cpu 2,80ghz 2,79ghz,100 gb of ram"

A Windows Media Edition OS system disk is needed for a recovery install.  What you tried was System Restore.  Without it, your iqon pentuim d cpu 2,80ghz 2,79ghz,100 gb of ram is about as useless as this guy's arm.  :sol:
