reformatting in XP

[fenrirknight]

How can one reformat in XP home. I created a start up disk and well fdisk isn't on it like it used to be. I copy and pasted format.com on my startup disk, but well, that says it won't work in dos mode. Any help would be appreciated.

Boot to your XP CD and either exit to a command prompt and execute the format command or begin a new installation and within a screen or two you'll be asked if you want to reformat.
