How do I wipe a computer clean?
by NewNewBie - 2/3/08 8:26 PM
I just bought a used computer from a yard sale. It has a bunch of stuff on it. Stuff I don't need or would use. How do I delete the whole hard drive & start from scratch? Can I do that or do I just have to keep all of this stuff? Also if I do delete the whole thing, do I need a certain disk to put windows back or will it come back?
The computer is an emachines. I don't really know what tell about it. This is my first computer. I've used friends, but never one of my own. So I'm new to all this stuff.
Thanks for all your help.
