Ubuntu loads from the live CD but after going through the install it requires me to put the live boot in I did a complete erase and install with Ubuntu 16 is there anyway I can use terminal to format the hard drive and start again I do know it probably has some corrupt areas, I even tried loaded from CD of Windows XP but the drive wont read it but at least I get a working desktop with the Ubuntu 6 version Can any guru's out there give me the script to type in exactly and see if I can get this PC up and running again if not it's probably trashed completely thanks in advance

If you can boot live Ubuntu, then you should use GParted , a free partition editor.
First, unmount your hard disk (right click -> Unmount). Then you will see Format to and choose ntfs file system. Apply the changes and that´s it.
Also, there is answer about formatting from terminal. Hope it will be helpful to you.
Don´t forget to make backup!
