My PC is so messed up. It's got spyware and viruses. I clean them out every day with norton and adaware. Heres the problem. I want to reformat my pc. I put the windows cd in and restart but for some reason the boot screen doesnt show "Press any key to boot from windows" doesn't show. Will someone help me please!
One of you option is to do as Michael Buckley recomends. But answering you question on how to format. You'll need to set up your bios to boot from cd.
You'll need to get into the bios setup screen. When you restart your computer, keep hitting F8 (now this key might be different on your computer), you could try F2 or F1 or DEL on each restart. You should do this as soon as you restart the computer.
Once you are in the bios setup screen, there will probably be a tab called as "Boot", you can't use your mouse on this screen, you'll have to navigate using arrow keys. Goto that option and hit Enter/Return. Now you'll see boot options like First, Second, Third
The first one will most probably be set to your hard disk, go that option (again by using arrow keys) and hit the spacebar (read instructions on how to move - on the right side of the screen) to change this option and select CD-Rom as the First boot option. F10 is to save changes & exit.
Now your computer should restart and boot from CD-ROM.
Let us know if you succeed or still have difficulties.
Thanks
