Solve : Reformatting PC problems?

Answer»

My pc is getting ultra slow lately, and freezing from time to time. I seriously want to kick this mother ****** but that would only hurt my self I tried reformatting the pc, but it says Windows cannot format this pc. What the *CENSORED*? My computer is in the verge of breaking down, and I can't AFFORD to buy a new computer just yet. I don't have that windows cd anymore.
Um... What OS, Protection, hardware are you using?

make any changed prior to this happening?

Need...more...info...gasp

Operating system / antivirus & antispyware protection / service packs installed / when did it start happening / did it ever work right / installed any new software?

BTW - the last guy that kicked his computer trashed the hard drive

Alan <>< I GUESS you just ignored my email from earlier then?
Reformatting is a solution I guessed you wanted to avoid, most people do because you lose all your data.
Anyway, you will need a Windows CD to format and reinstall, try not to lose expensive things like that.
BTW, just so everyone reading is AWARE, I was tslking to the OP earlier trying to solve some virus issues when they logged off and I had to go.
The only protection installed was an out of date version of Panda AV.
I sent an email before I left with a lot of good protection programs and instructions to clean the multitude of infections, I have no way of knowing whether or not it was completely ignored (I think it was).Uhm, I went OUTSIDE for paint balling so I wouldn't really know if I received an email or not (I'm not a walking computer). After paintball let us know what suggestions of Calum's were followed and the results...
