10 STEPS ON HOW TO FORMAT YOUR COMPUTER

1ST STEP All computer has BIOS ( Basic

input/output system). Here, you can set up how your PC will run. It is a blue colored full screen with different tabs like general, exit, devices and many more. Go to BIOS by simply hitting del (delete) continuously after restarting your computer.

BIOS

2ND STEP Once in BIOS, look for the booting set up. Listed there are the devices which computer normally boots. ( Harddisk, CD-rom, Floopy Disk and Network)

3RD STEP Place the CD-Rom as the first boot and

see to it that the bootable CD of Operating system you want is inserted in the CD-Rom. Then Place harddisk as the second booting device. Third and fourth booting devices are not usually important.

4TH STEP Save the changes and Exit. This will

restart your computer automatically.

5TH STEP When your computer restarts wait

until you see a message saying.........Boot to CD........<----if this showed up hit any key to boot to CD. This will make your computer refer to the CD.

6TH STEP They will ask you if you want to delete

or to create a new partition. For me just delete the partition and do not create anymore partitions. This will only slows your computer down.

7TH STEP After Deleting the partitions, they will ask you if

you wanted to format you PC. There are 4 choices in there:

a. Quick format (FAT)b. Format (FAT)c. Quick format (NTSF)d. Format (NTSF)

Choose the format either NTSF or FAT. Sometimes quick formatting result to corruption of some files.

8TH STEP The computer will copy the contents

needed from the CD to your PC and installs it. Windows will appear but i know when you see one you can understand what to do. It will just ask for date and time and user name if you want to.

9TH STEP After the installation is complete the

computer will automatically restart.

10TH STEP Once restarted, set the display in your

choice. You can do anything now. Congratulations, you now can reformat PC. :DD

THE END :D
