Answer»

Hey Peeps I am new but need a little help please . . . . I am trying to Format a SAMSUNG N130 off of a bootable pendrive and i am having no bloody luck, first it was skipping files so I downloaded a new version and now its telling me there is no end user agreement Please please does any one have any advise for me please . . . . formatting this hunk of rubbish is destroying my soul please 1.
a) Get an external (usb) cd/dvd rom drive. Burn the OS (Operating system) image to cd/dvd and format using that cd/dvd.
OR
b) If you have a DESKTOP computer, take out its cd/dvd drive and get this.

This can convert your desktop's internal cd/dvd drive into an external (usb), comes with external power supply.

2. Re-check the OS setup if it is not modified and is legit.

I have thought of that :-) THANK you
My partner sold the external that we had as we now use pen drives ( Which YES i slapped him for ) and its not for myself its another's computer that i am fixing so can't wait to long for post and all that jazz . . . . think i might try formatting the drive in another lap top then transferring the HD back . . . .

You cannot install an OS using other laptop and then transfer it to your laptop. The installed OS may not work. It may work only if that 'other' laptop model and motherboard etc are exactly same like your own laptop. Like a duplicate.
Yes its compatible . . .But hopefully it looks like its working i changed the HD again and started from scratch . . . . fingers crossed Now it can't find the hard drive ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHH NTDLR missing You mean you installed the HDD to another laptop, formatted, installed OS, installed back into your laptop and it gives NTLDR missing?No did it all in the samsung formatted again then asked to restart to carry on with setup
so i entered, restarted then told me NTLDR is missing Gurrrrrr its just not picking up the HD . . . . I have now put ANOTHER HD in and trying again Its done it again to another HD NTDLR is missing i really wanna swear . . . . . 2 days so far on this pile of poop How did you build this bootable pendrive...and where was the Windows .iso from ? ?Hi Patio And PCdoc . . . . Sorry i forgot my manners I used that WinUSB maker and also used a Torrent XP that i have used before that worked so it all has worked before it just seems to be this blooming Notebook . . . .. Its possessed Torrent...sorry ...i'll pass on this one.
