Formatting

[stewieg 1]

I've been fiddling about with computers for almost 10 years now but I've never formatted one yet, I've been asked to format someones computer and would like to ask anyone here if they have any advice about formatting please?

Hi,

 

 

Set the computer to boot from your D drive. When you start up, it will give you a message like "press Del or F8 whatever to enter setup " It will lists the drives and select D (cd drive) to boot from . Restart and put Operating System cd in drive and follow instructions from there. When you have completed that you have to install applications software(i.e. Windows XP etc.) and possibly drivers for printers, cameras etc. If you have played around with computers for 10 years you should have no problems. When you format you wipe the hard disk clean so remember to back up any info and documents you may need. Hard drives are inexpensive now so it might be worth your while buying a new one. Hope this helps some.

I'm new here, so I'm wondering:

There are thousands of forums on the web dedicated to solving computer problems like this.

I wonder why "stewieg" and "wacmedia" are using bandwith for that topic on a forum focused on Pattaya, Thailand.

Perhaps there is interest in a computer hobby section on this forum.

If someone wants to ask a computer problem in Open to Everyone Forum. (No bar or bargirl discussion here please) -> Technical problems or questions., I don't see what your issue would be. Rather than us adopting a smartass retort of "Go to a computer forum", we're providing a service to extend the amount of time that posters would spend on this board. If you fail to grasp that, think of a Big C. Sure, they have everything, thus making them a one stop shop, and increasing their revenue. According to your thinking, maybe they should have just stuck to selling groceries?
