on 5/12/2008 I have widows xp installed on my laptop and i want to install a clean version + format my drive. But, when i try to install windows like in the instructions above i get to where it gives me the option where you can delete old partitions and format drives. Then without even pressing a key my computer switches off automatically every time! I have my original boot cd with serial no. Can you help me out on this plz?

on 4/29/2008 Sorry, got as far as "disk management (local)" , but double clicking brought no change, no additional window, just that stage highlighted.

on 4/18/2008 Have a question, I want to format my gateway computer but I cannot get it to boot from the cd. Is there another way to format? Perhaps with boot disks? Or am I just not doing something right when I restart computer? The one thing that is different from the original computer is that I have put in a new dvd burner, could it possibly be something with that.
