Sup, i've got alot of virus' due to downloading lol. I need help to format my hard drive seeing so my virus scanners still can't find out the problem (I've tried near enough everything) When i go to my hard drives and click 'Format' it says that some programs have to be closed. I've even went of safe mode to try and format but still it says close down some programs. So what should i do to format my hard drives ?

Yes danny, you must first Back-Up all your important stuff to a disc or extern harddrive like Mindz notified about. Then it's easy just to formate with a Windows XP CD, follow all instructions carefully... one step at the time. It can be hard to help you with technical support if something troubles you during this occation. Ask a friend instead  |

Just, if you get a fake Windows XP CD, then you take a risk such as you can't update your computer with the latest hardware or sound/image is not working properly. That happens 10-20% of all cases. And goodjob losing your CD, a new one is not very cheap  My Dell PC have a built-in system for this... and a backup harddrive. |

whats the problem with the drive? only viruses or u got also erros or something else?
if u want to reinstall windows just make partition, put there the important files and backups then format C with windows cd (which u can download and path it to get update)
