    How can I reformat my computer?


    Hello there,

    I want to reformat my computer because I want to start fresh.
    How will I do so? Is there any possible video tutorial?

    Anyway thanks.

    Boot the puter with the installation DVD. You will need to delete the current partition (which wipes it out and all the files) then create a new one in the space left behind, Win7 will format it for you by default.

    Exactly how to do it

    Another sterling tutorial.

    Hello,

    Backup your data onto an external hard drive before you do anything. Also make sure you have the reliant license keys and disks for your sofware etc.

    Have a look here :
    How to Format and Reinstall Windows 7 - YouTube

    EDIT:
    I would trust the link that cyclic offered more than the youtube link. Use the youtube one for reference.

    It was mentioned already, but I'll toss it out again. Make sure you have a backup of anything important to you...because when you delete the partitions, the data is gone as well.
