How do i format my hard drive

(1/3) > >>

vtrdaz:
The old p.c's getting a bit slow - guess it's 4 years worth of rubbish on it - can anyone tell me how to format the hard drive and reboot it from the window's c.d i have?
Cheers

Yes I can but Ive just returned from the pub and that would be dangerous......  :shock:  :shock:  :shock:  :shock:

The first time I did it I typed in "re-formatting hard drive" in google and printe off ten ways.  All roughly thr same and they worked a treat.  

Like going from 2.5 normally asmatic to a TD5 in a few hours  :D  :shock:  :D

GaryPatt:
depends on what degree of formatting? need to save/backup al lfiles first.

Formatting your hard drive is the easy bit ... making sure you have copied everything that you want/need to keep is much harder :wink:

I usually go into the BIOS and make sure the CD-ROM is before the C: drive in the boot sequence, then insert your Windows CD and boot up.

Oh actually, what version of Windows are we talking about here?

vtrdaz:
windows 9(x?!!!iing)8 - we're thinking about just buying a new P.C at the moment as the norton software keeps saying the hard drive is playing up
