Answer» I need to know what to type the available options are
my purpose is to start over with clean hard drive I have the oem
but i dont know how to prepare the GARD drive
im running vista ultimate
and break call cd chcp chdir cls copy ctty date
del dir echo erase exit for gosub goto idle if
lh loadhigh md mkdir or PATH pause prompt rd
rem ren rename return rmdir set shify switch time truename
type ve verify voli usually do the following for WINDOWS XP,2k,me,98:
1. backup all documents/files to removable drive
2. boot with bootable-cd and run DOS command prompt
3. run fdisk, and partition to suitable size
4. format the CREATED partition
5. run smartdrv.exe
6. install new OS
alternative:
i think it's possible to skip step 2-5 with booting with OS-CD and let the install-wizard do the rest, but i never try that.
or some LAPTOP comes with a hidden partition (what do you call it?) that can restore laptop to the factory condition.
