    the bios won't help you reformat. just put your OS cd in the drive and boot from the CD.

    what CD are you putting in the drive?

    if it's XP, it should flash a note to "press any key to boot from CD..."

    if you don't have the CD set to boot before the HD, then you will need to get into the bios to change your boot order. is there no message flashing that says to "press __ to enter setup" ?
