I do not see how that will help you at your conference. I am reluctant to give those instructions to someone who does not understand the consequences of her action. You need to have an operating system to put on the laptop as well as installation disks for the applications you want to install. You did not say what operating system is currently on the laptop nor what operating system you intend to replace it with. Give more details and a reason why you want to format a working computer when you do not have a way to get it working again. -- Earl F. Parrish |
