Well, we got this computer from work that has Windows NT installed on it, and we want to get a normal Windows -- pretty much any normal Windows -- installed on it. So far the computer is laughing at us. We can't unistall NT, and we've found out that we need to enable multi-booting into DOS. Unfortunately, the Help doesn't work (it's missing the help reader), and none of the control panels seem to apply.

FORMAT!

We couldn't even figure out how to do THAT... until just a little while ago, true to the business of asking questions online, my mom managed to stumple on to a disk that started formatting C:. Now we have to install 95 from the floppy disks to get the CD-ROM drive working. But it looks like smooth sailing.

Speaking now a little more deeply, if you have a bootable installation CD of either WinXP or Win2k, you can always insert the CD in the tray and boot the PC with the CD inside, so it'll automaticallyload the main OS installation program, and you can format and do everything through there. But the CD tray must be configured in the system BIOS to be the first device to be booted when the system is fired up.

Yep. That's not happening. Of course, as I said before, it's all good now.
