I scrubbed my comp maybe 3 months ago, and now im sending my comp back and I wanna scrub it again. When i did it last time I thought that I was supposed to put in the Recovery Disk and it would boot from it and let me delete the partition, but now it won't boot from it. I've tried in both my CD drives, and nothing! What am I doing wrong?

Make sure CD-ROM is set as first boot device in BIOS.

K, I made the CD-ROM primary boot and it was booting up and it said "Booting from CD...." and then it just booted into XP again...what gives???

Sounds like this "recovery disk" is not a bootable disk.

Did you receive an OS disk as well? Should have gotten a windows disk that should be bootable.

If you have that disk, you can boot from it, and delete, format, partition, all that good stuff!
