Formatting

[Fiend]

I want to format my computer because there are so many things wrong with it and I just want to start over new. I've looked up how to format Windows ME but it just confuses me because I'm just that dumb with computers. I'll back everything up before hand, I just need to know how to format my computer on Windows ME.

I have a Dell
Pentium 4
1.5 ghz
128 mb ram

If you bought your cmoputer in the store, it should have a recovery disk of some sort, right?

The windows ME disk is bootable, even if it isn;t a recovery disk.

Just need to put it in the CD-Drive and restart your computer. Follow the options to do a full format. Windows XP and 98 CDs are bootable too.

You will probably need to set the boot order in the computer's BIOS. You can usually get in by pressing "F1, F2, F5, F8, Delete, or Tab before windows starts to load. Every computer has a diffrent key, thses are just some common ones. Find the boot order and place the CD drives first. Then save and exit.
