Answer 1

Seclect your bios to boot from the cd drive. With award bios, pressing the delete key while the computer is booting up will enter the bios setup.

Maxtor sucks, but the setup cd that it comes with has a write zeros to drive program. Boot the cd, run the program, select write zeros to whole drive. You don't need to to have it do the drive, just the begninnging of it. You can end the program after a little while.

Put in a windows operating cd if thats what your using. If its a complete install, thats all you need. If its an upgrade version, just put in an old windows operating cd when it askes you for it. Put back the windows cd you are installing and finish the instalation.

when done go back into the bios and select the hard drive (0) to boot from it.

Using the recovery disk that came with your computer will take it back to its default (new out of the box) settings. However if you have anything saved on the computer (photos, videos, music, documents, etc.) that you would want to keep you must retain those by storing them on USB flash drives or another form of media; dvd or cd. Starting over will require you to reset up preferences and settings such as internet connections and such.
