Aug 16, 2010So my friend wants to reformat his computer because he is planning to return it to Costco. He has a HP netbook with windows start. I'm guessing that his computer comes with a program that lets him make a windows cd. But if there isn't, does anyone know another way to reformat his computer

Jul 5, 2010Windows 7 keeps crashing for me and I'm wanting to completely reformat my C: but I take it it's more or less the same as what I did to install Windows 7. Ie, boot up the install disk when I switch my laptop on and then just following the instructions again?

Dec 7, 2012Just recently, I created a system repair disc with a 4.7 gigabyte DVD-R disc. After the disc was formatted, it's capacity was reduced to 146 megabytes.How do I get the disc's capacity back to normal? I don't want to waste 4.68 gigabytes just for a repair disc.If anyone knows how to get my disc's space back, please tell me. I'll learn from my mistake and use smaller discs first before using gigantic ones.

Dec 28, 2009I have a windows 7 CD I made from the computer. My computer now keeps crashing. I can't start the computer normally or in safe mode. It shows me the blue screen. So if I insert the CD, it says press any key to boot from the CD. then it goes to startup repair where it can't repair anything. It doesn't reinstall Windows 7. and I can't even restore to the factory conditions. this Laptop was Vista basic when bought.

Mar 18, 2011I already have windows 7 x64 edition installed on this computer. I'm trying to do a full reformat and delete everything and start fresh. When the computer starts, I hit F12 and try to boot from the disc. All it does is just go straight to the login screen and I'm back where I was before...with the old operating system.Tried switching the BIOS to boot from disc...nothing is working? It's just an endless loop I'm getting.Restart->F12->Boot from CD-> just continues to login screen.is there something different with windows 7? How to I reformat this thing?

Sep 30, 2012So I am about to sell my laptop which has a legit Windows 7 Home Premium.I was planning to use WipeDrive (If someone knows a better program for this tell me) to wipe the entire HDD clean. Then I was going to install Windows 7 that I downloaded from Digital River and use that to install Windows.If I do this process, it will ask me for a CD key correct? Then if I input the legit key I have right now will it work? Or will Windows say "This key is already in use" or something like that.

Nov 28, 2012I have Windows 7 and no cd drive. Due to driver issues, I need to reformat.How do I do this using USB? Also, what about back-ups? Could I make a back up of my files and programs, how exactly does that work, I don't exactly want to defeat the purpose of the reformat though. I don't want to have to re-install everything, but there's nothing sensitive on this computer, so losing everything would be more of an inconvenience than a problem.

May 1, 2011Does anyone know a good website to lead me through reformatting my C drive? I ran a registry scan that came up with 640 errors. I think all the problems I had with my defective RAM contributed to that? How do I make sure I have all the drivers I need and everything will work with a fresh install of Win7? All my media and documents are on the D drive, so I don't need to worry about that

Nov 22, 2012so i have my mums laptop which is a toshiba portege one of the old student laptops. it started getting the BSOD and then not being able to restart with it just keep going around in circles trying to boot saying that winload.exe is missing or corrupt with the error code 0xc0000001
it all requires you to be able to log into windows or safemode first. i have tried 2 seperate windows 7 discs that are proven to be good and an ubuntu disc and an xp and a repair disk. the windows 7 discs go to the "windows is loading files" and then to that error done it around 30 times. the xp and repair discs just stay on the blank screen with a flashing underscore and nothing will happen. the ubuntu disc can start up in a live session but when you try and install it it freezes at 5% and will never get passed it.
i put the hdd into another pc and done the command prompt partitioning and clearing as well as using gparted and went through all the discs again and all happened the same so i just went out and bought another hdd thinking that will fix it.
the new hdd makes no difference and i get the exact same results with the discs. i can get into the bios but i cannot get any further with anything, is there hope or is the pc messed up?
Windows 7 Upgrade After Reformat?
Jul 24, 2011I have been working with another tech in the spyware/malware forum to try and rid my computer of viruses and spyware/malware. We found that the main culprit was TDL 3 and have been able to successfully remove that, however the technician feels that my computer security has been comprimised and is recommending that I reformat the computer. I cannot find the Windows XP disc that I need to use to put Windows XP back on, but I have already purchased the Windows 7 upgrade. That was done before all the virus stuff and I was trying to fix all of that before I upgraded. I want to reformat my computer and Install Windows 7 but am worried it isn't going to work since I only have the upgrade purchase. I'm assuming from feedback from the other tech, the only way to completely rid the system of infections is to reformat.

May 25, 2012I just did a reformat and reinstall of Windows 7. During the installation process I noticed that there are two partitions other than the primary one: a recovery and an OEM partition. I already have a general idea of what both of these are used for. My question is: are these partitions vulnerable to infection?

Nov 5, 2012My Asus G73JH laptop [Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit] is about 2.5 years old and the other day it began suddenly freezing and rebooting. What I mean by that is the following: A) When it freezes, there is no warning, no gradual slow down, no anything. The mouse instantly refuses to respond, the computer makes no "thinking" internal noises, nothing. I'm forced to hard reboot. When it reboots itself, it is also instantly. There is no gradual closing of programs, it's just SHABANG. This became an issue suddenly. One day it was fine, the next it was doing this unpredictably.So I decided to go ahead and reformat the thing and re-installed everything via the Asus-provided "AI Recovery Burner" program.Annnd it's still having the same problems. Not only did I experience several errors when trying to do the million and one Windows updates, but it's still freezing and rebooting. Even in safe mode, it freezes. The timing of these things is unpredictable, it could happen 2 minutes after boot-up or, the computer could run fine for hours. So far, the freezing is much more common than the rebooting. Assuming the issue was hardware related, I ran Memtest86 last night for 7 iterations and it turned up zero errors.

After running the computer for about a year, with all updated drivers and such, BSODs starts to occur. At first, I assume it was a virus (had avast before); so I decided to fully reformat the hard drive with Windows 7 x64 Ultimate again. I remember reading the BSOD screen, and sometimes they had different error codes. Strangely, sometimes my hard drive would not be detected until I had to restart many times until a successful detection for the SSD would occur.So I reformatted, however; in the process of installing my first driver (Nvidia for GTX 560), I got a BSOD. Giving up hope, I decided to come here and report the problem. After that I just installed several drivers but not all.

Oct 12, 2012For work, I reformat at lot of laptops, and acquiring the drivers after a format can be a slight pain.Currently I use SlimDrivers to source them, and so far, it has seemed to work very well, but I am just worried that sometimes it may not install the correct drivers, although so far, device manager has always showed that all drivers have been installed fine. was just wondering if any of you have experienced any good software that you would recommend to either rip the drivers off before a format, or a good tool that can find them afterwards. Maybe SlimDrivers is a good piece

Jun 2, 2012I recently did a reformat on my 1.5 yr laptop (windows 7 home premium 64 bit) because it was acting a bit laggy and the videos I recorded using hypercam (a screen recorder) turned out very jumpy even though the images I was recording were not jumpy. I was also getting error messages sometimes when I boot up that said "there is no drive/disk to boot from. insert disk and press any key"
I usually just pressed the power down button and restarted in the hopes that it would go to desktop which it sometimes did. (I noticed that these error messages came most often when I had an external hd plugged in)so i used my recovery disks and did a system restore. but if anything the lag got worse. the error message at bootup still happens sometimes. it takes a lot longer to startup. and actions that used to be instantaneous like deleting small images now sometimes 3 seconds. when I type, the letters appear several seconds afterwards do i have to install some video drivers or something? the windows update says it installed the Intel Corporation display Intel(r) HD graphics. I assumed those were the video drivers and that the rest of the drivers were installed when I used the recovery disks (but honestly I dont know. I don't know anything about computers)are there are tests I could run to see if theres a hardware problem? I dont know which programs to scan computers for problems are real and which ones are actually spyware.I ran an AVG scan but nothing showed up. the weird thing is that there are moments when the laptop is fine. as in the typing is instanteous. other times its like the computer cant keep up with my typing speed (which has never been a problem)my screen recording stuff with hypercam was fine for a day after reformatting and then the jumpiness of the recorded video came back after a day.
Windows Is Slow Even After Reformat
Dec 9, 2011My installation of Windows has been acting up lately, like it's insanely slow. I doubt it's a hardware issue since I just had Ubuntu 10.10 running on it a few days ago, flawlessly. I completely wiped the hard drive and installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. All of the hardware on the computer is less than 6 months old, but I really doubt that it is hardware related since Ubuntu ran perfectly.It keeps freezing up every like 15 seconds, but only when I'm using Firefox. I was also extracting a .rar with WinRAR and it was taking insanely long.
