well, if you have a longhorn install file, burn it to a bootable cd-r and then run the setup. It should format the drive to ntfs for you.
Moved to longhorn forum. Thread title edited for clarity.

reboot, and check that your bios is booting from the CDrom drive. IF the longhorn copy u got is bootable it should be able to read the cd and boot the installation from there. Though i dun see why u would even want Longhorn at this early stage of development. Too many bugs, ull hate itmore than love it.

If the CD is not bootable, just use a Windows boot disk.
www.bootdisk.com has them

at which point u can format and then install the new windows, which i prefer over installing the windows over something. much cleaner
