Memory wipe wd3200bevt

I need to entirely wipe and reformat my laptop hard drive. There was a problem with major, multiple viruses and has now been corrupted(I believe). I need to simply wipe the drive entirely so that i may securely install a new OS. The system last had windows vista and due to a failed installation, currently has no OS.

How to remove all memory

If you're looking to completely wipe a hard drive, look for a boot disk called UBCD. That will come with hard drive wiping utilities. Download the disk image, burn it to a disk and boot to it. Look for the hard drive reformat utilities. It's good practice to run a wipe many times to ensure the data is removed.

If you're looking to physically remove RAM from a laptop, the bottom of the laptop usually has access panels. One of them will be for the RAM that will look like little sticks of memory. They are secured with small clips. Examine it to find the clips and open them to release the RAM.

How to repair : smart failure predicted on Hard Disc 0 : WDC WD3200BEVT-22ACT0-PM on Packard bell laptop

You have the S.M.A.R.T. virus infestation. There is nothing wrong with your hard drive.

You can try to remove the infestation yourself by following the steps below or as I recommend to most everyone who gets this particular virus. Bring it to a pc shop that specializes in virus removal for a set price. I strongly recommend bringing it to a expert because this is a very tough infestation to remove. If you try and remove it yourself you are very unlikely to remove all of the virus infestation and might not be able to recover any missing program Icons that have already disappeared.

If you feel lucky then here you go:

Start your PC and press F8 several times until the boot menu comes up. Then select "Safe Mode with Networking". Now get some or ALL of the FREE programs below.

Download, Install and Run Malwarebytes Anti-Malware:
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=5756
When Installing choose the non-pro version.

Download, Unzip, Install and Run TDSSKiller:

Download, Install and Run Super Anti-Spyware:

I use nokia 5800...my phone got locked by fsecure ....i do not remember my password...how do i unlock it...plz help its urgent

Press green + red + multimedia button and turn the phone on at the same time. Wait until the "NOKIA" logo appears. This will wipe your phone memory.
If that doesn't work try this.

Soft reset/reformat - Type *#7370# and the phone's lock code (Nokia default lock code is 12345). Warning!Soft reset wipes the C drive/phone memory!


Hard reset - Switch the phone off. Press and hold three keys together, the green key, the * key and the number '3'. While you are holding these keys, switch the phone on. Don't release these three keys before you see the NOKIA logo.
Warning! Hard reset wipes the C (phone memory) drive.
