If you don't know how, don't. You'll fuck something up.

Don't be in such a rush to turn your computer into a brain dead hunk of junk. Before you can reformat, you need to be able to boot it up with some kind of program. If not your OpSys, then a program specifically for formating your hard drive.

ok thank you thats what i needed to know.

Do you have all the software CD's necessary to restore your programs once you get it reformatted?

like drivers...
drivers for your mouse
your monitor
your keyboard
printer
scanner
sound card
video card
modem
webcam
etc...

One is if you're running on Windows XP, the CD of Windows XP contains a menu where you can reformat a computer.

Two is go to MS-DOS and type "format" then the drive of your hard disk...
