    Sorry Brink
    I cancel the Clean All process. When I List Volume under Diskpart, apparently the only Volume appeared is DVD-ROM.

    Then I performed the following step:
    1. Select Disk 0
    2. Create partition primary size=152369
    (At this stage the Fs = RAW)
    3. Active
    4. Exit and Exit

    Then I performed the System Image Recovery and following all the steps requested until last step Re-Image your Computer. Oop..

    Error: No disk that can be used for recovering the system disk can be found


    Why?? What did I missed out in the setting? Do I need to format it to NTFS before I restore System Image Recovery?

    Did you run the "Clean" command on it after interrupting the "Clean All" command? Yes you would need to format the HDD afterwards as NTFS.

    Yes. After I interrupted the Clean All process. I did do the Clean according to your advice.

    As a result of above action:
    What appears after I List Volume is - DVD-ROM

    Then I performed the following step:
    1. Select Disk 0
    2. Create partition primary size=152369
    (Now I could see a new Volume 1 Fs= RAW, Allocated size=149G, Free size=0)
    3. Active

    Finally, while waiting for your feedback, I performed the following step.

    4. Format fs=NTFS label="Local Disk"

    I wish I did it correctly and it is progressing very very slow. The speed of formatting is like 2% per every hour. After I let it running for 8 hours, it just progress up to 18%. I reckoned it requires another 36 hours to complete.

    I hope it would not pop up error again when come to final stage of "Re-Image Your Computer". One question at this stage, will the formatting at this stage will take the same amount of time or quicker?

    This is really a dreadful exercise.

    Will this remove viruses, I think I might be crawling with them on both PCs. I can easily reinstall Windows.

    The Format fs=NTFS label="Local Disk"you did was for a "full format". It will take a bit to finish.

    Next time, you could use the command below instead to perform a "quick format" that will finish fast.

    Format fs=NTFS label="Local Disk" Quick

    I skim-read the Guide, how do you open Cmd prompt, you said it wouldn't work when it's turned on, how do I access from boot?

    Mine is Local Disk C, so what would I do?
