	| well, since its a pre-fabricated system it didnt come with a winXP disk. it did come with the disk for the dirvers of the inbuilt sound card and VGA etc etc. i tried the "cold boot" but it came up with some symnatec error (but thats norton AV/FW, wth does that have to do with booting?) well. most, if not all administrive tools have been disabled (inc command prompt) and it will need to be remasterd. 
 when i tried to format it in WSM (win safe mode) it said: "another process is using this drive and it cannot be formatted. do you want to force dismount this drive?" i clicked "y" and it said: "dismount error, format has not been initiated"
 
 well, at least it being fixed...     hopefully
