    How do you crash your hard drive and start over
    « on: May 05, 2009, 07:44:25 PM »
    I have a really bad bug on my hard drive and the only way to get rid of it is to crash my hard drive and start over. Can any one help.

      Buy a new hard drive.
      The prices are now very low.

      I think they mean format, and reinstall?

      You could try downloading the U.B.C.D Disc. And burn it using BartPE onto disc or removable media ( Not floppy friendly )

        Why do you want to crash it.  Wont that mean that it would thrash then?  If you want to reinstall windows just put the disk in and follow the prompts.
