How do you format a DVD drive in XP

• How do you format a hard drive with an operating system on it?

  This is actual a fairly simple question, I think compared to what should probably be asking. But on the idea of the recovery discs, I think it's what I excatly. If anything on the idea of format and replaced by reformat. The computer didn't come with any disks or news or have any information. But all CD/DVD discs recovery.

  In addition, when upgrading to this day, is losing usage characteristics. Options to other programs are losing as well. Or more hidden away from the use of the actual program.

  Trying to find info to format the hard drive is not very accurate. Contact support is usually meet with updates.

  Give something to work in the ideas of features/options elsewhere and others, disable or activate is just as accurate as to what it is with or against the options and features.

  Try to work with those who don't, with or without update seems to be best with reformatting later, with a format that is better placed within the use and what features work as installed.

  Help and Support is also in the lack of many topics and listed from the first installation. Online is the only other source of info otherwise. Updated information is the lack of fitness.

  Thus, on the idea of having to reformat, I would rather just format the drive.

  Hello

  the device DVD/combined my A100-692 is damaged and I want to replace it.
  I found no still no guide how to replace the unit.

  Is there something available?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello!

  AFAIK, you must remove the keyboard first, before you can replace the CD/DVD drive. Remove the screws on the lower side, and then you can push the disc if you have replaced the keyboard.
  It seems to be a bit tricky

  Maybe you should ask a technician for laptop to help. They can replace the CD/DVD drive for you.

  Good bye

  Hello

  You can easily find details of CD/DVD players.
  Go in my computer-> do a right-click on the CD Player / DVD-> properties-> hardware

  You will find the information on your CD/DVD drive installed.

  If you need the firmware check in detail
  Device Manager-> right click on CD drive / DVD-> properties-> driver tab

  You will find information like for example these (this may be different on your laptop)
  IDE\CDROMMAT * A_DVD-RAM_UJ-852S__ * 1.80*

  1.80 is the version of the firmware!

• How do you Format C drive when it is the system drive.

  I want to do a clean install of Windows 7.  The problem was obvious corruption in the boot sector.  It should be sometimes up to 1/2 hour of starting the system with a power indicator light flashes.  I did a reinstall of Windows 7, but the problem remains.  At first I thought it was a power supply problem.   But that was reduced to nothingness.   This computer is used for work only.  There are no other schedules.

  When reinstalling Windows it deleted the old files and put them in a folder named Windows.old.  So, apparently, is not wiping the drive clean.  I want to be able to wipe the drive and reinstall to a bare drive.  BTW, I also had the error message 0 x 80070005.

  I want to just start clean.  Resettlement of not not more than two or more previous versions of Windows 7.

  Thank you

  Estelle

• Question: How can I format a DVD to use on the computer that they had already been used on a DVD recorder to disc progs TV one

  Hello.. Can someone help please, I have a lot of DVD + RW and DVD - RW Traoré were used to record TV programs... and the DVD recorder to initialize before use when I try to use them on my drives it dose does not format and they need to be formatted re I do not know how... Help please John Cheers

  Hi John;

  What format are the programs being recorded in? Your medial player is probably missing the right codec. Usually, when this happens, you will get a pop up window in which Windows give the possibility to provide web support. If you click web support, a page opens that gives you the file format.

• How do I format my OS drive I don't have reamainig more space

  My OS drive says I have only 1.36 GB of space remaining on a 222 GB disc how to wipe the hard drive and reinstall windows 7

  Hello

  This should help you.

  If you have a Microsoft Windows 7 DVD you bought:

  "How to do a clean Windows 7" install

  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/1649-clean-install-Windows-7-a.html

  If Windows 7 is pre-installed, you would have a recovery Partition or a recovery disk to reinstall Windows 7 from.

  To reinstall Windows 7 using recovery disk/s from the manufacturer, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery on the hard drive Partition to reinstall Windows 7 back to the way in which you bought your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  See you soon.
