Hi everyone, I'm HaloGal. I'm not a computer genius, but I know enough to get by LOL
I have a problem with my mother's computer. We want to reformat the computer, but we do not have a restore disk (not included in her computer package I guess). It's Windows ME, an OS I hate with a passion LOL
Could someone please tell me how to do a reformat for it?
Thanks!

Jump to PostReFormatting requires either a restore disk, or a windows disk.... formatting is the processes of removing everything, period. So, if you remove everything (format) and don't have the CD to put the stuff that you took off back on (windows) then you are left with a hard-drive that has nothing …
Jump to PostI'm pretty sure the first thing, is to boot to the CD, or disks. Once you boot to it (unless it's an upgrade) then it should launch setup. The setup process is pretty much self-explainatory... you might find this page useful:
Jump to PostI never advise calling them.... you have tried /booting/ to the CD?
