    ok..here is what you do, put in your window cd into your primary cd rom (incase you have 2 cd drives installed). Then restart your computer.
    -When your computer start up in dos, keep pressing delete until you access to your bios system. Go in there and look for boot sequence, change the first boot sequence to cdrom ( It is floppy as default).
    - Exit and save change after you done, your computer will restart.
    - Now your cd will be booted up. Follow the option to format drives and reinstall window.

    If you have more questions, post i will try to clear out.

    restart comp = reboot

    to wipe everything is a different story...You have to basically "WIPE" everything and start from scratch that way you will get rid of all the virus, worms whatever reasons that slow down your computer.

    reboot is basically turn off and turn on your computer again.
