If you have the motherboard manual, most motherboards have a jumper that allows you to reset the BIOS settings - that should help with the BIOS access problem
Formatting the drive as NTFS shouldn't have caused Windows any major problems (unless the drive was on its way out anyway)

If you passworded you bios, your going to have to clear CMOS, either by jumper (make sure power is off, and unplugged), or by popping ou the battery.(same thing with the power off) for 10 seconds or so. Then reboot into the bios, and reset your clock in CMOS, then go to advanced cmos, or boot, depending on whether its an AMI or Award/Phoenix bios, and change it to boot from cdrom first. If you need to fdisk your partion, whether it be dos, ntfs, linux, or whatever, you can go to bootdisk.com, and download masterbooter,and everything else for $4. Lots of great tools there. copy mrbooter and efdisk onto a win9x bootdisk, and run efdisk, real simple, just follow the directions on screen. you can clear any partition, and reset it to whatever, so the XPdisk will format it for you. There is also programs at bootdisk.com called zap and wipe, which will right zero's to any drive, which will clean out any data that fdisk or format cant.
