Since </insert Teddi FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF explanation here> nothing is holding me back from me routine formatting of my hard drive. But I realize since I have had vista I have had no reason to format. So I have been trying to do it now (atm) and have yet had no luck. How the fuck do I format dis bitch?

Just make sure you dont install over your already installed OS if your doing a clean format. *cough*limilim*cough*

1. Boot FROM THE DISC 2. Format your drive FROM THE DISC 3. Install... FROM THE DISC 4. Remove disc after installation :3 5. Boot it up and it should be fine. If it doesnt work my only guess is that your install fucked up. Optional but Recommended yet not Recommended in a way *hint* : Go get Windows 7
I did boot from the disc I did format from the disc I installed from the disc I did remove the disc afterwards I did reboot Twice. ---------- Post added at 11:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:13 PM ---------- w/e trying again
Run nuke and boot to dban your HDD. Then just reinstall the OS 1. Press enter to autonuke 2. Press M to change to quick erase 3. Press V and turn off verify 4. Press space to select your hDD to be DBAN'd 5. Kill all of your data for a clean HDD http://www.dban.org/download http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DBAN and check your boot order, make sure it boots Floppy, CD, then HDD. Then make sure u have no CD or floppy
