Thats a pretty drastic measure to take for "fixing" a computer that gets slower and slower! You do realize that if you do reformat, you lose EVERYTHING on your computer. Whoever told you thats how you fix it is an idiot.

firstly, have a bootup floppy or cd.\nmake sure you backup your necessary datas.\ninsert the bootup floppy or cd and restart the system, with such as floppy is to be booted up first, you can change it in your bios settings.\nNow with your boot disk booted up, select help option to get some quick help then format the disk by typing the command. x:format k:\nwhere x is the directory in which the system booted it can a drive or some cd drove,k is the hardisk drive which you want to be formatted.\nAfter formatting install your os or you can partion further by using partion magic.\nThank you

The same as you'd do with a desktop computer.\n\nI assume by reformat you also mean to reinstall Windows - if so the easiest way is to boot from your Windows CD.  You'll select to do a new installation, and when it brings up your partition table, you will delete the existing partition, and install windows to the "unformatted space".  Windows will then format and partition the hard disk and install a fresh copy of windows.

Don't do it! How are you going to install Windows after formating? You said that your CD-Rom doesn't work.. If you format your disc and your cd-rom doesn't work, your computer won't work!\n\nBut if you need it..\nMy computer -> find disc you want format -> left mouse button -> format.. -> start.\n\nAnd that's all!Your computer is empty!

You can format by using a widoows startup disc. Or simply right click on the drve icon and select format action.  I can give you a link that deals with hard drive problems.Some RAM/ hard drive problems can be easily fixed yourself by using easily available tools. I found the info at http://fixit.in useful

You can format the hard drive by taking the disk that came with it and putting it in at start up. Doing this will wipe out EVERYTHING on the computer.

1. You need more RAM, definitely. No other solution\n2. Before after pressing the power button and before windows starts loading, keep pressing F8 repeatedly. When the menu comes up, select Safe Mode, and press enter. The if you cant find the solution, you can atleast copy the files and stuff and the format it

You don't have to reformat!  Just go to the Start button, then click on it, then click on Programs, then Accessories, then System Tools, then System Restore.  Then try "going back" one at a time until you find one that's far enough back before you made whichever screw-up you made, and you'll be good to go.  That's all assuming you have Windows XP.

U can use the disc used by installing Windows\nor just go to My Computer, then insert a floppy disc(cannot be done with CD), and right click on A:(Floppy Drive) and click format, then Check the option, make Boot Disk(or something like that) then format.\n\nIf BIOS is configured correctly than it will boot from Floppy/CD

If you have to ask, you probably shouldn't be attempting this.  The command is FORMAT d: where d: is the drive you wish to format.  You can also run DISKFIX ... please, there is no recovery from this at all.\n\nIf you're getting rid of an old computer ... that's a different story.  We should probably have this conversation off-line ... my contact info is in my profile ... IM me and we'll figure out the best way to accomplish what you want to do.

Try to use Norton Ghost which will be more helpful to reformat the system to its initial positon. \n\nOnce u installed all necessary s/w try to take a copy of a partition. Norton Ghost will do it for u. it will save as a Image file.\nOnce u do that it will be used as a source for recreating the partition. \n\nWhen there is any system crash use boot disk to enter OS. then run ghost to overwrite the partition. Now u can see that the system is ready with all necessary s/w within 15 - 25 minutes.
