Can you wipe your hardrive without rebooting your computer?

Insert hard drive CD when you start up your computer. Check box when it asks you if you want to delete and re-use your hard drive. When completed, insert your OS CD, and money in the bank... if you want a quick re-format, dont insert the hard drive CD on startup.. just insert the OS CD on start up.. it will do a quick reformat that will give you results until you can find your hard drive CD if you dont have one. You can also use DBAN or wipedrive - both these free and paid for products will erase / wipe your hard drive to DOD standards. Be more specific please. If you mean deleting all the files, the best method i would suggest is to reinstall the OS.

How do you install windows XP in multiple operating system on a single computer?

If you only have one hard drive, you have to create two or more partitions for every "instance" of Windows (or any other OS for that matter) you want to install. Just google for partition manager or something. Then you have to start the installation process (booting from Windows XP CD) and select the proper partition for installation. Repeat the above procedure for second partition and there you have it. You will probably need to adjust your BIOS settings to boot from the different partitions. But i do not see the point in this.... It makes sense if you want to have different OS on one computer, but the same one twice does not make any sense...... regards
