Did you get the floppies I mentioned earlier? If not, the following will work, too, and is a little quicker.
Go HERE and download the Win98 SE bootdisk to your desktop. Double click on the file you just downloaded and put a floppy disk in the drive when prompted. This will create a bootable floppy we can use to wipe your drive.
Put this disk in the drive and restart. At the options screen, press F5 for command prompt. At the A:\ prompt, type fdisk and press "Enter". Type Y to accept large disk support and press "Enter". On the next screen, choose option 3 "Delete partition or logical disk drive" and press "Enter". Press Esc to exit fdisk. You now have an unpartitioned and unformatted HDD.
Put your XP installation cd in the cd-rom drive and shut the machine down. Start the machine and follow the prompts to set up a partition and install Windows. When formatting, choose the full format, not the quick format.

If there are any trusted techs in the madison area(wisconsin) that want to stop by or me bring my laptop so they can have a look, feel free to respond, this is getting really annoying. -.-;;

Anyways, I'm off to bed, we'll continue this tommorrow. <3
Remember though, I can't format because my xp disk is for SP1, and you had me download SP2 and I don't know how to get rid of it.

Follow the instructions in Post #18. Once you get the OS back on the machine, you'll need to get all your updates again. They are important both for the security features and the patches/fixes they contain.

Download Everest Home Edition as Keith suggested, install it, run it, and attach a log to this thread. This will give us your system specs.
