How To Format A Computer
Formatting A computer involves erasing all of the data on the
computer’s hard drive, and then reinstalling the operating system so
that the computer is restored to factory defaults. This can be useful if
your computer is malfunctioning, or you are planning on selling or
donating it. Follow this guide to format your windows 7 or mac OS X
computer.
 When you format a computer, you will lose
all of your files and data. The program can’t
be backed up; they will need to be
reinstalled. Any files including documents,
music, picture, and videos that you want to
save need to be copied to a backup location.
Backup your Data
You can use DVDs, CDs, external hard
drives, flash drives, or the cloud,
depending on how much data you have to
backup.
Set your BIOS to boot form CD.
To do this, restart the computer and enter the
setup screen when the manufacturer logo appears. The
key to do this will be displayed, and varies by
manufacturer. The most common keys are F2,F10, F12,
and Del.
• Once in the BIOS menu, select the Boot menu, Change the order of devise so that your
computer boots from the hard drive. Save your changes and exit. Your computer will
restart.

Begin Setup
• If the CD has been inserted and the BIOS is set
correctly, you will see a message telling you to
“Press any key to boot from CD…” Press a key

launch.

setup program without asking you to press any
key

anything. Just wait 5 sec and your
PC will continue booting and

system.

booting and installing,
almost there!

yours from the drop down
