How do you reboot?

(1/2) > >>

Anheg:
A while ago, I had a friend reboot my computer. I cant get ahold of him and I need my computer completely cleaned out very badly. Can someone please explain how? :(

Wobbles:
Simple. Unplug your computer and set it in the road. Leave it there for a year and then buy a new one!

BzK:
...

I think you mean reformat.

Backup the things you need. Like documents, music, downloads, ect. To a other partition, disk, or other place to store it.

Then reformat the partition your OS is on. With windows it's making a new installation and filesystem when you boot from the cdrom. (or use fdisk if you know it)

Once you have a clean new OS, install the software (drivers, programs, updates, ect) and get the things back from the backup you made.

If you need a step by step explain about it, then you need to give more information about the computer. And it's better to search help in RL.

Nice, though the extensive FAQ that BzK posted makes this post marginally repetitive at best.
