formatting

im thinking about formatting his drive since there's nothing on this computer anyway. and because its vry slow for a computer using only 6% of its harddrive with a 1.8ghz processor and 1gig memory...
is this a good idea?
he doesnt have the cd for windows xp so how do i go about doing this or do i even need the disc? because on my computer in the past i've reformated like 5 times due to virus' and just problems and if i remember correctly i needed the windows disc

the computer is ECS 945P/PL-A 1.X
has no secondary drive lol

Hi, with out a disk how are you going to install the OS unless there is a image saved some where.
You can format via the command line but you need to reinstall.
