TO SIMPLY DO IT. WHAT I NEED TO DO IS BOOT FROM THE DVD DRIVE. ONCE I AM HERE I CAN. CHANGE THAT BOOT DRIVE. PLEASE BE CAREFUL. DBAN DOES OVERWRITING THE ENTIRE HARD DISK WITH ZEROS. THIS PROGRAM WIPES ALL MY DATA. LEAVING A CLEAN HARD DRIVE.

do what sam said. reset cmos battery.

THIS ACTION IS NECESSARY WHEN YOU WANT TO WIPE YOUR HARD DISK. REMEMBER THAT ONCE IT IS DONE. ALL DATA IS LOST FOREVER.

If you are on a desktop,

Make sure all the power cords are unplugged from your computer.

Go inside of your desktop tower casing, look on the motherboard for a small watch type battery.

Take the battery out, then keep pressing the power on the desktop tower for a few minutes to make sure all the power is gone from the PC.

Then place the battery back in, start up the computer again, your bios/cmos should be reset to its defaults now.

Have fun!
