Clean erase

[kladal]

Hi,

I have a computer I am selling to a friend who wants it to be free of the Windows I have before he receives it. How do I perform a clean format so that the motherboard BIOS loads when he boots the system?

Thank you!

Load up de windows instalation disk and start an install when you are selecting the partition where windows will be installed you have the options to format/delete a partition. Just delete the one with your current windows instalation and exit the windows setup.

it can depend on which version of windows but if its a xp or vista then bigburns instructions are good .


B4 you can do that though you might have to enter BIOS and change the cd/dvd drive to be the first boot device so the computer knows where to boot from
