Hey friends, I am back on MS after 24 hours(So long) to write a review on my favourite topic which got added just 60 minutes back! Without wasting more time, Nowdays if you have noticed that with the increase of the no. of viruse’s, spyware/adware/scumware, worms, trojans and many other malicious threats attacking the consumers Computer system(Mostly the ones having Internet Connections), it’s essential to not only know how to format your hard disk but also to format it in a proper way(TARIKA).:).Usually the computer vendor’s take around 300 bucks for that thing.which you can say is neither difficult nor simple.than expected. *
Wanna read more on formatting, continue reading.:)
WHAT DO WE MEAN BY FORMATTING?
The process of completely erasing and resetting the data, drives present currently in your hard disk including the system files and all the sub folders is known as formatting. After formatting is over, installing a fresh piece of Microsoft Windows on the HD is known as Installation of Windows.Thereafter many drivers are installed so that your media is able to function properly.(Sound Card, Monitor etc.)
*PRECAUTIONS:
`Before formatting a computer. follow the following factors carefully`
1.Keep your vendors phone number beside you:
To be safe, by chance a problem occurs you can consult him any time and sort the problem out and continue.
- Backup:
Burn all your precious data which you have collected over a period of years like- Hundred’s of songs, Documents, Pictures e.t.c. into a Re-Writable Compact Disc or 2/4/6 GB DVD Disc(Only possible if having a DVD writer.) You can also connect your current hard disk with another one and transfer all the data onto the new one.:)
- Hardware Compablity:
Hey people, before doing any of the 2 processes, make sure that there is no such hardware which is not supported by the setup. Many a times, the setup haults due to a Hardware(Lan Card Basically) which is not recognized.
- Power/Hard-disk Life:
Do make sure that if electricity goes in middle of any of the processes, the system continues to run otherwise it puts stress on the hard disk and reduces it’s life.If you do formatting on a regular basis and also through quick process, it damages the internet lining disks of the harddisk.
STEP WISE FORMAT & WINDOWS INSTALLATION PROCESS (Windows: 95/ 98/ ME/ XP/)
`Here are the steps you need to follow to format a system properly`
Take a bootable cd.
Restart your computer with that cd inserted in the cd-rom.
When system stops doing any other activity, enter the code for formating the drive where your previous windows version was installed before.For eg-: Type(In MS-DOS Mode)-> Format c:(To Format C Drive.)
Then when Asked for confirmation-’yes’ or’no’. Type’y’ & press the enter key.(The drive gets formatted in approx. 10-15 minutes.)
Take out the bootable cd and now insert the Windows Me/95/98/XP Disc.
Press enter key when asked to.(The Setup Automatically runs)
Enter the authorized 17 digit serial no.(Written at the back of the cd case).
Setup Continues and ends in about 45 minutes-60 minutes.
Hence the drive has been successfully formated and Windows has been installed.
Important: *In the case of Windows XP/2003, the installation disk does the formatting for you automatically. In the above procedure instead of a bootable disk, insert the XP/2003 Installation disk and after continueing choose the drive you want to format from the the list and follow the onscreen instructions.
INFORMATION ABOUT DRIVERS*
After everything is set and done, you need to install certain drivers/files for eg- Monitor Driver, Lan Card Driver, Printer Driver etc(If not a Windows XP User) which help in the proper functioning of media. Since Each and every computer has different configuration, thus to download the drivers,
-visit: https://driverguide.com. or contact your vendor!
It has a collection of all the drivers for all kinds of hardware.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~
