Formatting comp (xp)
Very simple question:
How do I format the C hard drive on my computer and install Windows back if I don't got any Windows XP installation cd or anything?
PS. Comp full of spyware. (no, I don't download porn 24/7)
Sorry if I put this in the wrong place.

Hi and welcome to D-A-L 
if you format you'll loose all your data, did your PC not come with any recovery discs?

No it didn't.

What is the exact make and model of the computer?
Most manufacturers offer their Recovery Disks for sale. Also there might be the possibility of a Recovery Partition on your hard drive via a hotkey. The manufacturers site should have this info.
Otherwise you would need to purchase an XP CD.
