How Do I Format The Hard Disk?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Before setting out to format your hard disk make sure that you prepared the hard disk, carefully following the manufacturer's instructions. Think of the kind of file system you would like to use. If your hard disk already holds data you might want to back up the important data. Keep handy the floppy disks or CD-ROMs which you would require in order to reinstall your software. It is always better to jot down the particular graphics card on your system along with any other specific devices installed in device manager.

    The actual process of formatting your hard disk will ultimately depend on the system that you are using. For instance if using Windows 98, XP or ME, you will need a startup disk; with Windows 95 a bootable disk needs to be created and CD-ROM drivers have to be added from the CD-ROM. It would be best to consult your particular systems website or manual for further information.
