Ok what i do is go to MS dos prompt type

Turn off comp and put in my boot disk into the A drive. Wait till it starts loading and put in my windows installer cd. Install windows
after that i got my comp back. Everything else is just instaling the drivers and my games.

IS THIS CORRECT FOR WINDOWS ME?

Plz tell me im goan reformat my comp this weekend and this is the way im gona do it.

Also im on a "network" kind of. I share cable with my s dad comp down the hall and were "Networked" the reason i do "" is cause i cant send any files to him or anything. Only thing we can do is share the cable connection. My question is will i have to totaly to the network over for my comp like name and everything or can i just plug it back in. AND i put in my Ethernet card after i got my comp mabey like 6 months after i got my comp. Will the comp reconize my ethernet card

Make sure you have a boot disk w/cd-rom drivers.

Make SURE your windows installation disk will work in DOS.

Format your drive.

Boot from floppy.

Install Win.

Request assistance from daddy for network configuration.

Install drivers for video card, sound card... etc

Thank SoLiDUS by sending him a 100$ check in the mail (prv msg me about that one)
