Re-Format Hard Drive with Windows NT for Home

I tried to re-format my drive and start fresh (numerous challenges) but my Windows NT for Home disk only re-intalled windows and did not format the drive.  The computer works much better now but the old applications are taking up hard drive space but I can't access them. I really would like to start fresh with the intention of simplifying what is on the machine.

that's ok,
 
note: you must be able to come in a screen telling you to format your HDD using NTFS or FAT32 in order for you to determine whether you would be able to format your HDD.
 
if you do have a partitioned HDD you could format the other drive in windows already just right click on that partition and then select format.
 
 
GoodLuck

ok, what you need is to boot from you CD by uding F12 and select the selection having CD ROM on it, and make sure that you should insert your CD in the drive then just follow the installation step, this will actually reformat your HDD and install Windows.

Thanks for the reply.  I thought that is what I did but I will try again and pay attention to the CD option.
