Default Wiping Everything Off My Hardrive...

Hey People,

My computer is now packed to the brim with data almost the 80gb have been used and the PC is running like a fat turkey up a hill, so I want to delete it all.

Basically, my fear is someone told me my Windows is built into my computer and is onboard it :o Whatever that means...Does anyone know how to access this apparently onboard windows when I go to reformat?

Thanks for the helpy.

hey earnshaw and welcome to pchf

to answer your question they mean that windows is preinstalled on your pc and if you format your hard drive you would need a windows cd to reinstall windows

Does that mean I have to go buy one? Or do I already have it?

Ok, It's apparently on a different section of the computer apparently, not on the hardrive.
