When you boot off the CD, you're going to see the option to format your drive.
In your case, that's what you want to do, format the drive. After you've
selected the choice of formatting, it will give you 4 option... 1. FAT, 2. FAT
(QUICK), 3. NTFS, 4. NTFS (QUICK). Whichever you choosem don't do the quick
format. Do the full format. I recommend NTFS, for added security and
efficiencu, and more stable... but, NTFS can't be read in DOS, so if things go
bad you can't use a DOS start-up disk to navigate through the drive. You can,
however, use a 3rd party app, such as NTFS READER, to do that for you.

Thanks Troth,

clean all the mistakes, do i have to go to format or will the CD take care
of that?? Sorry for all the questions but i'm learning -:))).

follow the instructions. Can't get easier than that.

can patch it immediately, and get all up-to-date with a virus scanner and
up-to-date definitions. So, hopefully, you'll be safe in the future.
