formatting hard drive

A

attilathehun1

I formatted my slave hard drive and did a quick format (erase), instead
of a
complete format. I wanted to put another operating system on the hard
drive
and now I'm having problems loading it up. It says: Invalid system
disk,
replace the disk and press any key. I tried to get into BIOS but this
message
comes up. When I put Windows ME OS disk into it then it says: Boot from
CD-ROM or boot from hard drive. When I chose CD-ROM and ran the
operating
system it got to the point where it says something to this nature: make
sure
to remove any floppy diskette and press any key to restart your
computer.
That's as far as I get. Maybe I should've done a complete format? Does
a
quick format leave the operating system on the disk? I want to erase
the
whole disk and have it completely clean.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, attilathehun1
