Depending on the operating system all you have to do is place the os in the cd and turn on the computer (xp is auto booting so you won't have a problem). &nbsp;windows 98 comes with a cd and you have to put in the diskette drive and the operating system into the cd and turn on the computer.<br />
<br />
The installation should format the drive itself (under xp)<br />
