some of you have already read about my woes on the msblast topic;

I have a Samsung laptop with a XP Recovery disc, my system has msblast, even after ending process and deleting the two programs in System32 it is still there after rebooting, I have re-installed XP but to no avail. MSBlast shuts down my system before I can download the Mircosoft patch, so I can't get rid of the bug*er, sounds over the top, but I think I need to format my drive which is OK as everything is backed up, and I can install XP and all drivers etc in 50 mins, but .... can't seem to get to the format drive bit from my XP recovery disc, reading the info that came with it, I should get the option to persoanlise my installation which will allow me to format my drive before installing if I wish, but this doesn't happen, can someone help please. Or can I format from DOS ? tried but couldn't do it.

Thanks
