| 1348676 | 2013-07-12 01:57:00 | I have recently updated my computer and want to reformat the hard drive of my old one and try Ubuntu/Open Office. It was XP Pro and I cant find the method for reformatting the C: drive. Have changed the bios so the first drive operating is the CD/DVD drive,but I don't seem to have a formatting file any longer. Nothing seems to work from withing XP. Used to know this stuff back to front but a stroke a few years ago has limited my memory. Can anyone advise please? | Sapperbro (6562) | ||
