I want to delete everything from my laptop as though I am just beginning and I don't know what keys to press. I know when I had a Dell Computer I would hold down the control key while tapping F10 repeatedly until it got went to the screen that told me I was going to lose all my data. I really need to do this because it is the only way I can get rid of the virus that has been on my computer for a while now.

During the boot process you will see on the screen to press delete to enter setup Press and hold delete during the boot up process to enter BIOS the scroll down to advanced bios features press enter change your first boot device to cd,press escape then press f10 to save to cmos to restart (note after you have loaded the operating system you must go back and change the first boot device to your hard drive)
You will have to restore all of your programs to there default value Rather than doing them individually During the boot process you will see on the screen to press a certain key to enter setup Press and hold that key during the boot up process to enter BIOS you can load failsafe defaultsor load optimized defaults ,press escape then press f10 to save to cmos to restart hope this helps
there are two possible reasons:
1. your laptop's hard drive might have bad locations
2. one of your windows file might be corrupt
using windows xp installation cd try to repair your windows
be carefull not to reinstall. first try to repair and if it does not work then reinstall.
to repair i'll give to you some details:
on setup, after press F8 *(if you are agree with terms of licence) you will be asked what do you want to do.
and requre to press r to repair a previous windows installation, or to press esc key to instal a new and fresh windows.
press r
if u have critical files to recover, ask for help from someone who know very good what to do.
If you want to complete erase the hard drive and start fresh you will need an operating system disc, there no other way, other than going through and manually deleting every file and program that you don't want. Doing a system restore back to the earliest point, will still leave any installed files and programs intact.
Some of your key is marked by these picture. Press that with FN. Thanks & waiting for your feedback.
