Right click on 'HDD C' or your drive 'C'. 3. Go down that window until you see 'Format' 4. Left click. Note: you will see several warnings that you will delete all drive contents. 5. Format the drive. 6. Instal Operating System. 7. Instal Antivirus first after that. 8. Instal Firewall next. (Zonealarm is free for private use) 9. Instal Ad-Aware <www.lavasoft.com> this allows tracking and deletion of SPYWARE, which has probably corrupted your system. 10. Purchase Roxio Go-Back Pro v 3.0 <www.Roxio.com> NOT FOR WinXP though. Instal it, can recover an almost totally corrupted system in most cases, but has to be installed on a good system only. After that instal all other software in the usual way. Cheers	Guest (0)
