Reinstall Windows XP and format hard drive, how to?
Since all data on the Windows XP hard drive is irrevocably lost as a result of formatting, all important data should be backed up beforehand.
You can undo formatting with special programs, but a lot of data is lost in the process. So, be sure to back up all your important documents and data before formatting the hard drive!
