Question: How can I format my laptop?
The problem is that my CD-ROM does not work or it cannot read the CD.
Help me guys and btw, is possible to format using USB Flash Disk?TNX in advance
Model: PSA10C-035WM
As much as I know with USB Flash Disk won't work.
I really wonder why you don't buy replacement ODD. Compatible readers for this model of laptop old are more expensive. Replacement is very easy and you can do it alone.
Wait a minute: you can remove the laptop HARD drive and connect to other PC / laptop as external one. If you can do what you want.

Where is Snipping Tool? If deleted accidentally, how can I get a copy for Windows Vista?
Hello Bob w. NY
Click on the Start button and type capture in the search box menu star. The cutting tool application should appear at the top of the search results.
As the cutting tool is an integral part of Windows, you might have to reinstall windows to return to the tool. Assuming, of course, you had accidentally deleted.

Roxio Easy Media Creator 7: How can I get this program in Windows Vista?
I recently got a new computer, how can I get this program in Windows Vista.
Since you are not the original poster - and this thread is since September 2009, almost a year ago - I don't know anything about your computer or its issues. If you do not have the same problem as the OP and try to install an older version of Roxio Easy Media Creator in Vista, then the answer is the same for you: buy a current version program that will do what you want. Scanning is managed by your printer/scanner software. How manipulate recorded images is then up to you to do some image editing programs. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

Question: How can I format external drive in exFAT? NOT in NTFS!
OK, so frustrated that I had to go through the hedges to sign up here to ask a question like that. Why can I NOT format exFAT? I have many external HDDs that were formatted in exFAT under WIndows XP Pro but my new system, completely updated Windows 7 Professional, I can't format external drives of exFAT. The option is NOT available. In the Format window, file system, is the only option: NTFS (default), there is no other option. I googled the * on this issue and found no answer. This external hard drive MUST be formatted as a disc exFAT. Period. Someone please help.
I'm surprised the research online increase this... You can do it from the command prompt, but not from this dialog box. Here's how:
-Open a command prompt by typing cmd in the start/search box, right click on the cmd search result and select "Run as Administrator"-Type format g: FS:exFAT , then press ENTER to start formatting the G drive as exFATTo view all other options, type format /? and press ENTER. -
