Most likely you have some bad sectors in our hard drive. There is some free software which allows to do it. Also you can use Check Disk which is part of windows OS, it's capable repairing bad sectors if it's not too bad. REPLY: the computer now has no windows installed on it though, I cannot get into the OS to install any software because of the crashing during reformat. I think it is a deep rooted problem with the hard drive, but is there anything I can do other than buying a new hard drive?

How do you reformat your computer when it is off?

You can't actually reformat when it's off. You'll need to power it up with a bootable CD or floppy disk which has the format command available. Besides, what you are formatting is the hard drive, not the computer. Or you can remove the hard drive from the computer in question and format it in another computer.

How to reformat CPU?

You can not 'reformat' a CPU. The Central Processor Unit (CPU) of a computer is the heart of a PC that processes (like a huge bank of switches) the instructions and information passing through the computer. As such its configuration changes from microsecond to microsecond as you use the PC. The only things you can reformat in respect to a computer are its data storage devices (normally disks) and the process usually involves overwriting anything that was on the disk before and starting clean. Be warned, if you reformat your system disk you will lose your computers operating system and it wont work afterwards!
