    My brother has given me his laptop to fix. It needs to be re-formatted in a bad way. I have the winxp cd which came with it. There is no floppy drive to run fdisk or anything like that. How would I go about formatting it?

    You can use the Windows XP CD. Pop it in at startup, (you may have to set the CD drive to be the first boot device in the BIOS menu) and you can delete the partitions there and format it. After that you can install Windows.
