Reformatting Your Hard DriveReformatting your hard drive is like sorting through a really cluttered filing cabinet. This cluttering can eventually lead to computer malfunction or breakdown. |
You will need someone with the right computer knowledge to help you to reformat the first time just in case you run into problems. Once you get to know how it works and what is involved you will be better equipped to handle reformatting in the future.
Backing Up
Every so often you should reformat just to keep your computer running
to the best of its ability. Before you do so, you should first back up
everything onto CD or any type of high capacity removable media. This
is imperative because when you are reformatting everything will be deleted
from your computer.
- You are going to start from scratch and begin the process of re-installing all of your programs and then install the back up.
- You should test the back up before you begin to uninstall everything in the computer to make sure there are no problems that will arise that you didn't expect.
Drivers
Make sure you have all the drivers necessary to re-install hardware and
software. You may even want to update Windows or any other programs to
the most recent version.
