    After using the Windows XP disk to format your drive, make sure you don't let it install it's files. (unless your install windows again).
    Other wise, you can turn the system off after the format. I'm not sure if the installation has a quit button, but you can just press the restart button if that's the case. Take out the cd immediately upon restart.

    FYI.....most BIOSes I've worked in, have ESC as the "oh fuck I didn't mean to do that" key
    simply put, browse around in the BIOS, enter a settings page,
    if it's not what you are looking for, hit ESC

    That's why "ESC" is short for "Eeeek, shit, crap!".
    And I'll bet you thought it was for "escape".
