sure babe you can why not.
first you need an xp cd ,it coasts a little money i dont know exaclty how much but a little expensive.when you get it put it in the computer and restart it.
the computer will ask you how you want to boot.
choose boot from cd and then just follow the instructions
thats about it .
just remember this.
when the computer ask you which partition to format you should always choose C never D ok.
format it using fat32 system if available ,it not then format using NTFS system ok .
good luck .

There is nothing in Windows spec that requires a male to install it.
How to do it depends on the computer and the disks you have available. If you have a windows disk then put that in the machine and boot to it, then just read the screens and follow the directions.
If you have manufactures recovery disks then put in disk 1 and follow instructions. Some manufactures need you to hit a Function key at boot time to enter recovery. Best to have a look at the manufactures website if you have no disks as this may be the way to do it but different manufactures use different keys. HP + Compaq are F10 and Dell are F11 as their logo flashes on the screen at startup.

Surely what a man can do a woman can do better.You can format a machine,all you need to do is have the Operating System CD (assume that its bootable)and follow the steps.But yu have to set the boot option from CD-ROm,then just follow the stepd.They are clear and there u are the computer is formatted.
NB:When you do a full format u loose all the data the was in the computer.Be careful and sure of what yu want to do.

A woman or a male anyone can reformat a computer but the person needs to be qualifed for this and mind it format is very easy but the process after formatting is tedious and this requires a technical person. So better you call one Hardware engineer.

I was able to do it several times without a guy :) Do you have a formatting CD that came with your computer? I just put it in the CD Rom drive, turned my computer on and the system recognized everything and followed the instructions from there.
Of course it will depend what kind of computer brand name you have I suppose.

Create a boot disk,boot up with it and run fdisk on the bootdisk with the appropriate parameters.It will format the entire drive.
By the way,I am a male.
