Format Computer YourSelF

I understood that it was once a difficult moment when your personal computer break down in the middle of assignment.

Sometimes, you might be wondering why don't get a new one instead of spending unnecessary time and money to repair it.

And, and the lousy computer technician might over charge you by just contributed a little of work to fix your machine.

Today, I'm going to demonstrate a way to REPAIR YOUR Machine by YOURSELF. Trust, It will save you amount of money and time.

First of all,

You need a copy of window installer/.bootable DVD (which you can get it from any of the computer retails, otherwise, you can it from kepong night market and its like $5. So cheap.

now, once you have the window installer DVD, load it into the DVD-room and switch on your computer, in few seconds, you will see a black screen with few word on the top left. which shown, “press any key to boot from CD….”, you press ENTER.After all, a blue screen will appear with WINDOW SETUP on the top, and some Loading stuff on the bottom. Wait until it requires you to respond.
Next, there would be three 3 options for you to select, which are,
1 -“to set up window XP now, press enter.”
2 -“to repair window, press R”
3 -“to do nothing, press F3”

Choose 1 to install new system in your computer. it will require to format all your all data (follow the instruction on blue screen if you wish so). Tips: you must format your hard disk completely to install a new system.

Choose 2 if u don’t wish to loss all your previous data. by select it, it will take you not longer than 1 hour to let the computer repair the system by itself.

Choose 3 if u don’t have the confident to repair it yourself/ or don’t understand anything, click F3 button on your keyboard to cancel all the progress and send your computer to your nearest computer shop to fix it
wish you good luck ^^
Disclaimer &Tips:
For option 1, I not pretty sure how its work because I forgot the step in between. You can have a try and follow instruction.

For those computers which failed to appear black screen with words, “press any key to boot from CD….”, that's because you system didn't boost your system from your DVD you have inserted, try click on F2 during the first show up screen once you switch on the main power. After F2, you should be in the system configuration site, select CD-Rom as your primary booting device and click F10 to save and exit, restart your computer, and you should be able to go through it again with the procedures i have written above.

Good luck repairing your computer.
