Default Hi-Grade PC

Just bought a new PC, reason being I've had a virus on mine for a while and been meaning to clean it and start again but never got round to it until it stopped working which was tonight.

Been looking to buy kira a little cheap pc for a while. Went to the shop near ours and bought a Hi-Grade 80 gig hard drive, 3. something Ghtz 500 and something RAM, (me and my PC specs I've not got a clue as long as it works it's good enough to browse the net)

It's all up and running and looks ok. £260 didn't seem a bad price for simple PC, any one heard if they're reliable or not. I heard so many bad things about Tiny PC's but I had one a few years ago and never had any worries.

Any thought let me know before it breaks down!!

To anyone that knows about PC's, how do I wipe one and start from scratch, I've tried to format the drive but it says windows is using part of the drive any ideas?
