[MrEcksDeah]

OK GUYS REALLY IMPORTANT QUESTION. IF MY NEW COMPUTER DOESN'T HAVE AN OS INSTALLED ON IT HOW DO I BOOT USING SNOW LEAPORD? (I already have the os on a disk. I bought it)

[LunaVorax]

@MrEcksDeah OK DUDE JUST DON'T BUILD A HACKINTOSH, BE A REAL MAN AND USE GNU/LINUX OR FREEBSD INSTEAD.

I tried to do this and it said "clean is not allowed on the disk containing the current boot, system, pagefile, crashdump or hibernation volume."

[MrJeffhardy556]

@Ellygonwild

Aside from the advice posted here in the comments section, please read the description thoroughly and completely. It took me a while to figure this out. I hope the information helps! :)

[Ellygonwild]

@marstersluz mine (kinda) worked though.

[ZaCkOX900]

killdisk to erase the boot sectors then use windows to partition and format after.

[dionis198686]

how do you enter this mode respond.

[jro9001]

what would happen if u formated the harddrive but u did not have a cd

[TheModdingService]

@marstersluz would this make my computer go faster

[marstersluz]

@TheModdingService Yes, this will make a computer run faster since you will be starting over with a fresh install of the operating system. Please back up all important files in the hard drive because all files will be deleted in the process of formatting. You can also format your computer more easily by using a Windows installer disc or a boot disc. The user interface is much more friendly compared to this DOS method.

I hope this helps. :)

do u know how to fix a cd/dvd drive burner?

it was working a wile back burning things to disc, now it sez the cd is full on an empty disc & can't burn.

can u help me out :<

[marstersluz]

@nathanalaneller How old would your CD/DVD drive burner be? There are some technical experts who can open up the optical drive (another term for CD/DVD drive) and fix the PCB (printed circuit board) inside but I think the easiest and simplest solution would be to change your optical drive. Even swapping out your current optical drive for a fixed, second-hand one (more affordable) would work. Please note whether your optical drive uses IDE (ribbon-type) or the newer SATA cables.

You Must Boot it.. The Drive C: Will never Format with Commands It Must Need to Boot Its Only For Drive D: or Drive B"

[JakkHack]

@MrGreekdog

Have you ever tried to type with one hand while holding a camera in the other?

Your logic astounds me.

[GlycerinZ]

I love MS-DOS

[punkngoth]

use fdisk or aka killdisk

[Bandicoot803]

Your 2nd "format" parameter will only work if you do the following:

format C: /fs:NTFS

Hint: You can choose among other file systems like FAT, FAT16 or FAT32. Microsoft has limited the FAT32 file system for up to 32GBytes to force users using NTFS.

so what

[soniccomet22]

BURNS!!!

[samualmathews]

i have a software that can solve this software but first tell me which hdd u have samsung or segate

[homebusinesssupport]

use fdisk to delete partition

[diabeticman2]

password is password

[jnnycliff]

you actually delete the HDD. Data still there. Use Dban or some other freeware to boot from floppy, it will over write your HDD, then your HDD will clean. Then you can install any OS.

[mirsc001pro]

press D to the c  drive then Press L

then it will wipe it clean
