dude,, you need to know first what is the specs of that desktop before you reformat it,

because different Operating system has a different requirement,

and also reformating a computer, is the last option that you can do,,

well my i have windows xp.. so whats the requirement in formatting?

first you need a cd for win xp and , dvd for win 7. first download a .iso copy of the operating system then burn it using any kind of software like nero. after burning ur cs is ready to use for format

if you already have the CD, place it on the CDROM. since you're using XP, hit the F8 button repeatedly upon reboot before the windows logo appears. it should take you to the boot setup, set the first boot devide to "cdrom", or "USB CDROM" if you're using one. restart. follow the steps and you're done

first thing is u should know whats ur pc's spec
by going to Start button > Run> type "dxdiag"
all information about ur pc is listed there

then after u found out what's ur pc's spec try to compare the requirements of the
windows u wanted to install, if ur system meets the requirements then thats the time
when ur ready to reformat ur pc .

you must have all your drivers in place before formatting your pc (motherboards, vga , sound , drivers) and an OS cd ofcourse

Agreed.
if u dont have CD or installer for ur Motherboards driver u can try google
but first of all u nid to know whats ur mainboard system

u can use "dxdiag" again
first look for the System Manufacturer copy the name
2nd look for the System model
3rd go to google heres how u should search
System Manufacturer + System Model
