Step 1
Insert the boot CD or the Windows installation DVD into the drive. Press the IBM laptop power button to turn off the computer. Wait five seconds and turn on the laptop. Your laptop boots to the installation DVD or the boot disc.
Step 2
Press "Esc" if you're using a Windows installation boot disc. This key brings you to the MS-DOS command prompt. If you're using a boot disc, the command prompt will automatically display.
Step 3
Type "format c: /s" (without quotes) and press "Enter." The "Format" command deletes all information from the drive, and the "s" switch copies the system boot files to the drive. Formatting completes in a few seconds, depending on the size of your hard drive.
Step 4
Remove the boot disc from the drive and reboot the computer by pressing the "Ctrl," "Alt" and "Del" keys simultaneously. You can now install the operating system of your choice.
Please respond to my effort to provide you with the best possible solution by using the "Acceptable Solution" and/or the "Helpful" buttons when the answer has proven to be helpful.
