Guest kamil234 Posted October 28, 2006 CID Share Posted October 28, 2006 put in windows xp cd, it has a reformat option or go to recovery console (f10) (im assuming you know how to get there...turn the comp off, turn it back on and while its on the first screen press f10) type "map" (no quotes) type "format C: /fs:ntfs" (no quotes once again) if it asks you something press "y" when it finishes type in "exit" (no quotes....) and you're done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kamil234 Posted November 1, 2006 CID Share Posted November 1, 2006 Man how do you give 50 numbers straight in a row, and get them all right. is right. they're broken down into 6 digit groups, or something like that, its not they're just crimbled into eachother Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommie gorman Posted November 1, 2006 CID Share Posted November 1, 2006 they're broken down into 6 digit groups, or something like that, its not they're just crimbled into eachother Then that is not as bad then. With 50 at once I think something would come loose before I got done reading them. (I think my head would spin loose) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
