How do you format your Hard Drive without a recovery disk?
I DONT HAVE A RECOVERY DISK AND I DONT WANT TO LOOSE MY WINDOWS XP.
I only have one partition of my hard drive and all my data including windows is in it.
So please someone tell me how do i format my hard drive without a recovery disk but still keeping my Windows.
There is no way u can format your hard drive and keep the current windows xp. Formatting wipes out all data on a disk. Just back up your important files on removable storage devices such as blank DVDs, USB devices (pen drives) or zip disks (if u have a zip drive) and contact your supplier for the windows xp backup CD (they owe u one!). Then format the HDD and install a fresh copy of windows.
you need to call your comp manufacturer for a replacement.
can’t be done without it. you also need to back up your data, all of it .you can make a backup of all your drivers on a dvd disk before formating. otherwise backup the rest of your data to disks or an external hard drive. and you will still need the manufacturers disk..sorry!
