    I bought a HP ZV6005 that came with XP Home. I want to upgrade it to XP PRO. What type of utilities can I use to wipe of the disk so I can upgrade it without having to buy 3rd party utilities. I tried to format with "Format C:" and of course it will not work because I am in the XP o/s. YOur suggestions that will work is very much appreciated.

    Thanks.
