Title: !HELP! Need too delete everything off my comp
Post by: Xil on January 11, 2011, 10:36:02 PM
I've been constantly searching through the internet trying too find out how too delete EVERYTHING but my system, all files folders and junk.

I don't have a disk that restores a system, i don't have any system restore points and I don't want too format it.

Is there any way to delete everything but my system?

Like a local disk wiping program or something?

Hm ;|.
I haven't really used XP, so I don't know it too well.

Try this:
1. Turn off your computer.
2. Turn it back on.
3. While it is loading, press 'ESC'.
4. An option screen should appear. Choose the option that most resembles 'Restore your computer'.


^^Take a picture of that if you need to

Tried restore already, thing is, it asks me for a disk, which i don't have.

And it says if i don't have a disk, don't continue cuz if i continued, it would have deleted everything including the system and i wouldn't be able too fix that cuz i dont have a disk.

Is there any like sort of program that wipes my local disk of stuff i don't need?

Format.
If you won't format it you won't be wiping your computer.
