How do u delete everything on a hard drive?/

Q: Im getting a computer (windows xp) and has alot of viruses and music and other stuff. I was just wandering how u delete all of that stuff, and i mean delete everything to make it like a just bought in new. btw it was free!

A: Well, if you are wanting to delete EVERYTHING, Your going to want to go the the computer. IT will show the hard drive, than your going to want to right click it, and find format. It will delete, EVERYTHING. In doing this, you will need to reinstall your windows XP with the disk and put in a new CD key. If you are just going to delete things, I reccomend wiping the desktop clean of everything but internet explorer and recycle bin, Going to the control panel, go to add or remove programs, and start taking out EVERYTHING. Make sure to go into all the folders like my pictures, my downloads and get rid of all the files. One big wipeout. It might take longer but it will save you the time of having to reinstall windows.
