I want to have my computer like i just pulled it out of the box.
But the computer says that the file that helps me do that is infected so it wont let me use it.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!How do I clear all data on my computer?
Step 1
Backup any computer data that you wish to save. Resetting Windows XP will completely wipe your hard drive and delete all files on your computer. You may backup your computer using blank CDs/DVDs, an external hard drive or an online backup service such as Mozy.com.
Step 2
Insert the original Windows XP installation disk into the CD-ROM drive of your computer.
Step 3
Click the Start menu button in the lower left-hand corner of Windows XP and select Restart to reboot your computer.
Step 4
Press any key on your keyboard during the booting process to launch the Windows XP installation setup screen.
Step 5
Choose Enter Setup on the setup screen. Do not click Repair. After selecting Enter Setup, press the Enter key on your keyboard.
Step 6
Review the licensing terms provided by Microsoft to all users of the Windows XP operating system. Press the F8 key on your keyboard to confirm that you have read these terms and agree to them.
Step 7
Wait for the Windows XP installation disk to scan your hard drive and locate your current Windows XP installation. Select the target hard drive partition in which you wish to reset and restore the Windows XP operating system. Typically, the default drive is the C:\\ partition.
Step 8
Select the type of Windows file system that you wish to revert to from the setup screen. Click Enter after making your selection.
Step 9
Press Enter on the next screen to prompt the setup software to begin the Windows XP reset process. Wait for the entire reinstall process to complete before closing the dialog box. Depending on the size of your hard drive and the speed of your computer processor, this process may take several hours.
Step 10
Type your entire Windows XP registration code at the end of the installation process.
Step 11
Enter the settings for the Windows XP reset, such as your time zone and name. This will erase any current settings in your old Windows XP installation.
Step 12
Press any key to complete the installation and restart your PC.How do I clear all data on my computer?
Just do as I say.............
Step 1
Go to Darik's Boot and Nuke website. There you will find a brief description of the program and then the ';Download'; section.
Step 2
Click on the README.TXT file if you haven't used this program before. This tells you about the program, how to download it onto a floppy, USB drive, or a CD, and how to use the program.
Step 3
Once you have reviewed the readme file, go back and click on the download for either CD and DVD media or floppy disks and USB flash drives .
Step 4
Once you have the program downloaded, re-boot the computer. The readme file has some instructions for how to do this, since the program cannot be started from within Windows, and you need to have the DBAN program start before the operating system on the hard drive is started.
Step 5
Type ';autonuke'; at the boot prompt to wipe all devices on the computer without confirmation. If you need further help, support is available through the website. Be sure to follow the protocol, outlined within the README file, to get support.
format your computer.
u need the disks that came with it to do a complete reformat/reinstall

Friday my computer was corrupted and had to clear the Hardrive except for the original factory settings?
How can I bring them back onto my desk top?Friday my computer was corrupted and had to clear the Hardrive except for the original factory settings?
Bring WHAT back? If you restored it to factory, what you see is what you get.Friday my computer was corrupted and had to clear the Hardrive except for the original factory settings?
Bring what back? If you are talking about your programs, you reformatted the HDD making it a blank canvas with only the OEM software installed. Reinstall/download everything is your only hope if you didn't have a backup.
you cant bring them back since you wipe your data and current settings in your hardware. the remedy is that you should always put a back up files before you take a reformat in your system
Ah, the wonders of Reformatting
Kiss your data goodbye, hope you didn't have company data on it.

Would like to clear things off computer so it will work quicker how?
alot of times when I am checking e-mail it wont click to where i can answer.Would like to clear things off computer so it will work quicker how?
Clean out your cache. If you are using Internet Explorer, go to TOOLS, then INTERNET OPTIONS, then click DELETE. Then DELETE FILES and wait until it is done, you will see a little action window. Then DELETE COOKIES, same thing. Then DELETE HISTORY, and wait. Once it is done, click OK. Go back to your desktop, out of your browser, and go to START, ALL PROGRAMS, ACCESSORIES, SYSTEM TOOLS and click on DISK CLEAN UP. Once that is done, restart your computer. That should help. Also in Accessories, you may want to do disk defragment, but maybe overnight because it may take a while.Would like to clear things off computer so it will work quicker how?
Working faster involves two things, Memory %26amp; Processor speed. Those to items are what runs a computer basicly. You can be mislead into thinking things are removed when in fact they are simply ';put to the side'; and still occupy your disk space and read which slows all computers down.
Weekly disk clean up and defrag is about all one can do to maintain optimum performance.

How do I clear my harddrive without logging on my computer?
Make sure you want to do this. There are two ways to start this: first, you can put your Windows CD in the drive and reboot the computer. It will immediately give you the option to reinstall windows or erase the hard drive.
The second way is to access the DOS prompt and use a built-in program called FDISK. You can access it (I think) by just typing cd/fdisk at the prompt. You should look this up before trying it.How do I clear my harddrive without logging on my computer?
Without logging on?
You can't.
You can boot the machine with a universal boot CD, and work on the drive,
You can take the hard drive out and attach to to another machine and delete files from there,
Or you can physically destroy the drive How do I clear my harddrive without logging on my computer?
You can run a big electromagnet by your machine.
Thats extreme of course, you can't do this without logging on though.
