Before "re-formatting" have you attempted to "restore" the windows to a prior condition ?. If your PC is a Dell, HP, Acer, "Name Brand" , look to see you have all the recovery disks. If it's an older Machine prior to Windows XP you might want to consider "upgrading" software first and then proceed with a "re-formatting".

look on line for dod formating software that will wipe clean the drive .soo they say .a harddrive is a magnetic recorder and most of the time when you delete or erase it you are really just rewriting over files .if you can get hold of a win 98 disk you camn make a boot disk that will boot to FDISK if you dont have a floppy just use a cd and at the command prompt type fdisk . than follow the instructions
