About a year back I decided to reinstall Windows XP on an old discarded laptop. I&#8217;m not sure what CD I used but 3\/4 of the way through it asked me for a disc 2. I had no idea where disc 2 was or even what disc I was using in the first place, so i gave up. So now I&#8217;m trying to start over after a year and it goes straight to the set up asking me for disc 2. I tried getting into the recovery console to reformat and start from scratch, but all it lets me do is press f2 for setup or f 12 for boot menu after either of which it immediately boots the start up. is there a way to reformat the drive from here?\n<\/td><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"iawp_total_views":35},"question-category":[],"question_tags":[],"class_list":["post-378","question","type-question","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question\/378","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/question"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=378"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=378"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"question-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question-category?post=378"},{"taxonomy":"question_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question_tags?post=378"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
