Hard drive? SOLVED

How do I wipe a hard drive?

That depends greatly on what operating system is already on it.
 
Windows XP media center edition 2005
 
Are you upgrading to 7 or something?

Easiest way is to put a Windows install disc in, boot from that, and use the format utility.
 
Go to start and in the run command type CMD then type format ?:\ ?= drive letter. or go to my computer right click drive you want to format then click format.. other option you will need to boot to a disk like adsm 08 suggest...
 
My operating system is jacked up. I can not load windows is there any way to do it without using windows?
 
I would try a repair install from the disk. I would not other trying to format from the command prompt in Windows anyway. It seems to not like trying to format a mounted drive.
 
I have no disk
 
Well if you don't have a disk how were you planning on using the computer after you wipe the drive?
 
Buddy of mine will get me one
 
So get the disk first.
 
Drives are cheap now. Just put a hammer through it and buy a new disk, save yourself a lot of trouble.
 
Drives are not cheap at the moment and there's never a purpose to wasting anything pointlessly.

Ok I found the recovery disk and recovered it to it's out of the box settings. I have been trying to download updates but this is the error i keep getting; Error number: 0x80244019

What can I do?
