Hi All

If you're in the Suwon area and you can reformat my PC, I would be really grateful! Yes, of course there would be monetary reimbursement involved, but I need this done asap. Thank you.

If you have a copy of windows or whatever OS you're using you can format it yourself. It's pretty self explanatory when installing

I guess asking someone for a disk would also help...

Before you attempt re-formatting your HD you had better make sure that you have:

1) backed up any data you need to save
2) have a bootable and WORKING copy of a windows disk with the key (download one and burn it to disk if you need to).
3) the mainboard CD or the INSTALL version of the device drivers for your mainboard
4) the device driver CD for your video card and any other OEM hardware that may have been installed.

without the above you will end up with nothing more than a dead computer with a blank HD and no way to download the software that you need to make it all work again.

Haha, I've been there before - forgot the drivers. PC Bangs saved me that time!
