when your PC boots from cold, at the screen where it checks your memory - press PAUSE on your keyboard.

take a pic & post it here

Did your PC come with an XP/Vista disc or a recovery disc??
If so pop it in your drive then reboot your system. Should read from CD and take you into an installer there will be an option in there to wipe and re-install windows.

Reboot your computer ? Turn it off at the wall and back on .. that'll reboot it !

If you mean format .. then you need a windows CD .. or a recovery CD .. unless of course you PC comes with a recovery partition ..
