If you boot the system with the XP boot disc, then you'll clearly see the
path you must take to Delete the Partitions and wipe out the HDD and
reformat it too.

You can always use Google and Dogpile.com and search for the information on
*How to do a clean install of the XP O/S*.

From what I understand Dogpile is more technically oriented than Google.
That's the spill I got from by boss at the time. As for the intent of the
name Dogpile, take it up with Dogpile. It's just a name as far as I am
concerned and one you won't forget.
