format c:/s from a boot disk

but to factory you need the factory installation CD's for whatever type of computer it is.

Can i get another by downloading it from any where or can have to find one from another computer or the one it came with! Will format c:/s from a boot disk wipe the harddrive?

if you have the factory boot disk just run it and reload the operating system ;)

to completely erase the hard drive, you will need to format c:\ then run killdisk on it. Formatting just renames and changes locations of files so they are "unreadable". Killdisk will turn all the 1s to 0s and get you back to a clean slate.

Make sure you use kill-disk or anyone can recover the old data.
