to look at this but, You don't reformat the HDD for this.
You let Windows do all of the work for you.
I f you didn't make a back up copy of this HDD you won't be able to restore because you formatted.

After (re)formatting the hard disk, you must install Windows again, either the original XP or Windows 7. That's quite difficult for the average user. But maybe you're an expert?
