If you format your hard disk then everything will be gone.
1. Go to BIOS and make it so that you boot from the CD
2. Put the Windows CD in.
3. Boot from CD
4. Follow instructions. |

| You Can Boot From CD, Then Repair A Current Windows Installation, Or If That Doesnt Work, And You Have Got Files That Youy Really Really Dont Want To Lose, Add Another Hard Drive In, Set The New One As Primary, Then Install Windows And Read The Files Off Your Current Hard Drive.

Kid, shut yo damn mouth. you dont know anything about fixing window related problems. By saying that he HAS to FORMAT and he will loose EVERYTHING mean that you dont know what your talking about.
It actually makes me laugh.
If your computer wont boot up, please tell me what it does when you push the power button. Also, check your temps, your bios might have a cpu temp autoshut off sensor. Make sure your hsf is seeded properly on your box. Also if your computer does boot up and starts to load windows and gives you an error or just resets, you can take your hard drive over to your friends house and hook it up as secondary and just surf your files from your friends comp. (thats if you know what your doing...... *sigh) anyway, if that still doesent work. You can install windows and leave your harddrive untouched. There are multiple ways of installing xp or whatever windows os you have. Please.. [H] is the way to go. Make a account on the [H]ard Forum and post your computer problems in there, cus from what im quoting right now, it just makes me laugh that some kid just automaticly think by installing xp over an exsiting xp install, you loose everything..
Hope this helps.. yaw.

Felman, although I appriciate your post, which is very informative, watch your language. Your first sentance is flaming an other member. That is not allowed on this forum. Don't do that again.
