Dell 4600: trouble reformatting…

by jostkava . Updated 17 years, 7 months ago

Let’s begin. I want to reformat my hard drive, but it seems there is something I’ve missed along the way. I have all the discs and the user manual the comp came with, I’ve booted with the OS disc in=>booted from CD-ROM=> and.. nothing. That’s where it go wrong. I’m prompted with two options; one is to continue (which just ends up booting to the desktop), or two which trys again. Now, I’ve even went in after the fact and tried turning on the OS Install Mode and after trying again, nothing. I’ve tried deselecting the hardrive in the boot menu (leaving just the CD-ROM to boot from) and nothing. So, my question is has anyone else had this problem, or am I possibly missing some blatanly obvious step???
