    Reformate with files on HDD?

    I bought a Medion - Windows media center edition last year.. And now I have to reformate necouse off viruses..
    But I cant find out how I reformate this freakin computer!
    Medion says the files should be stored on my PC, but where?
    If I need to do something at startup screen, what?
    I tried F1, F2, F3, F8and F10 plus TAB and DEL..
    I sure dont have a Media Center CD..
    Please help..

    Get the windows XP CD.

    Boot to CD. Repair Windows. Everything should be on the hard drive.

    You need to have a CD with windows on it to reinstall it, you reformat using the install CD then reinstall windows.. You need a cd of somesort. Might have to burn one.

    At the startup screen hit F8. Go into safe mode and burn the recovery files off your PC.

    Make the disc bootable. It'll boot from CD. The CD will install the right things then.

    If they didn't give you a setup disc, HP should walk you through it. TALK TO THEM!
