If Windows is giving you issues, or a virus infection has taken control of your laptop, a clean format will wipe things clean. Of course, this will wipe all data and programs from the computer, so backing up any files and personal data is essential. Using the restore discs that came with your computer (or that you created, bought or were given by your manufacturer) you can format your Windows Vista laptop.
Things Youll Need:
- Restore/Recovery disc(s)
- Step 1
Insert the Restore disc into the CD/DVD drive. This has to be a Windows disc, and either a retail full version of Windows or a restore disc for that specific Windows Vista laptop.
- Step 2
Restart your laptop.
- Step 3
Strike the "F2" key at the top of your keyboard, or whichever "F" key lets you choose the Boot Order in order to select the disc drive.
- Step 4
Choose "Advanced" instead of "Standard" installation, which will bring you to a screen showing the hard
drives you have installed in your Windows Vista laptop. - Step 5
Click on each and any drives installed and choose the "Format" button on the bottom. Once the format finishes, proceed to any remaining drives and continue the process.
