  2. Recover or Reformat?

    The reformat won't budge?

    I did what you said and then was told to remove the CD from the CD-Rom Drive, put in the recovery CD and then press the 'OK' button to continue

    So I changed to the next disk but the OK doesn't appear to be being 'pressed'. Yes I have pushed enter on the keyboard which is what I have been using to get me through the other steps..

    Any suggestions?

    And the keyboard worked for the first step but when I was meant to hit Enter on the keyboard nothing happened. The OK didn't highlight.. nothing..

    Am kinda stuck..

    Reformatting the c drive

    I am formatting my c drive to remove all the junk from it and I have backed up everything that I need onto an external hard drive, but when I try to reformat the c drive it says that if I do so my PC will stop working because it cannot reformat that volume.
    I don't have the windows cd or and cd that came with the laptop and I also only want to reformat my c drive and nothing else. i have windows 10. do you have any suggestions?
