i've keep my important files into external pendrive. so whats next? could i just format it then?
im very confused.
1. backup is just to safeguard the files i need right?
2. what exactly is recovery image?
3. do i have to make a setup disk or something?
all i thought is that laptop work like handphone. u could just reset it to system factory default and simple as that. or im so wrong? please someone correct me and teach me what i should do!
