Autoplay will not display automatically on my Dell Inspiron 1525 when I insert a disk. It does show in programs with the right settings but not when I click on the removable drive icon.

SOURCE: Reformat on Dell Inspiron 1525

Yes, a reformat wipes the disk clean. There are special programs for this. The Dell recovery CD's (DVD's) will have the program. The usual command is "Format C: /v" without the quotes. The /v tells the program to verify every sector as it formats. Back up every thing that you need first as there are no second chances.
