About this document

Step-by-Step Computer Formatting Guide by Lara Faith Ashanti is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Formatting a computer involves wiping the hard drive and reinstalling the operating system to restore it to factory defaults. This is useful for fixing issues or before selling a computer. The steps are: 1) Back up any important files, 2) Set the BIOS to boot from the installation media, 3) Begin setup and watch files load, 4) Delete existing partitions and install to the empty space, 5) Enter user and computer names during setup. Formatting erases all data so backups are critical.
