MS Dos in Win ME!! (Clean install help)

I want to do a clean install on my dimension XPS T500 before I sell it. I am currently running windows ME. When I have done a clean install before, I have been running win98 and have been a ble to get to the dos prompt to format C drive. I may be really silly, but I can't do it in Win me! So how do I go about it??
Please help! I'm selling it at the weekend!

    If you have a win98 or win me startup disk it is very easy, just boot to the floppy and choose start computer with cdrom support then when you get to the a: prompt type in format c:. it's that easy.

    If that doesn't work (or if you don't have those disks) you can boot off of the dell dimension resouce CD by changing the boot sequence in the bios so that the CD Rom is the first boot device. and when you restart the computer (press f10) you start the computer with CD Rom suport.
