My Computer is so screwed up I'm trying to do a system restore however there
are no dates highlighted that i can do a system restore to.. Is there any way
to get around this and just wipe out everything on the computer?

Clean install (format disk) Boot to the XP setup CD,press 'R" for the repair prompt, and run the command DISKPART to remove the
existing partition, and then boot to CD, and run Setup.
