Actually, it is very simple. First, insert the formatting disc that you have and restart your computer. When your computer starts, keep on pressing F2 button. Then, move your cursor to CD - DVD ROM and enter setup. That's it.

∙ 11y agoThere are a few ways to format a personal computer. I am assuming when you ask how to format it, you are referring to deleting everything and loading a new operating system.
Option 1: You can insert any operating system CD/DVD into the disc drive, restart the computer, and boot from the disc drive. In most computers you have tohold downthe F12 or Delete key at the very start of the boot process and select the disc drive. After that it will say press any key to boot from disc, so press any key. After it copies some files and loads the disc you will be able to choose to delete and format a partition or hard drive.
Option 2: There are bootable programs that is just for formatting hard drives. The one I like is: Drake's Nuke and Boot. The program is free and will literally write 0s to the entire hard drive. The downfall is that it takes a very long time. To start the process you do the same thing as mentioned in option 1.
