Two is go to MS-DOS and type "format" then the drive of your hard disk... addicted Posted at 10:40 am on Feb. 18, 2007 Quote: from Forever Angel at 10:22 am on Feb. 18, 2007 Quote: from drop of rain at 12:13 pm on Feb. 18, 2007 Quote: from Forever Angel at 12:10 pm on Feb. 18, 2007 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...
