Hello, I am trying to reformat my netbook hard drive after it crashed, I have tried using my OEM win XP disk using an external rom drive, but my netbook is not always recognising the Rom, when it does it loads the usual windows setup files then at the "starting windows" part it just stops and I only have the blue screen and to get out of I have to shut down the machine, somebody said to reformat the drive, but I can't find a way to access the hard drive to a position where I can use the Format C: command. I have tried changing the boot up sequence to no avail i appologise for going on but I am a bit of a Wrinkly and not an expert PC user, any ideas please
