Title: How do I formatted computer?
Post by: Lotos on August 25, 2008, 04:28:48 PM
Without that startup disc thingy, I can't find it :(  A link to a website that can help please?

This is that downstairs computer I was talking about weeks back.

And yes, I know there's a thread below me, they will probably not anwser my question, as Linkfan's just getting rid of viruses.  I want to get rid of everything alltogether.

The only way I've ever known is using the start up disc.
Sorry for not being very helpful. :P

If you reformat using linux, you're not going to have windows anymore... and if you remove linux after reformatting, you won't have ANY operating system on your hard drive...

Buy a new internal hard drive, take out old one (smash it) then insert new one.
