Seun-T:


If ur system is partitioned,just back up ur files on D drive then format C drive...if it is partition,get ur self external hard disk and do ur back up thing on it then format ur system she ka nah ire oOoo

all4naija: Even if it is not partitioned it can still be done. But most be careful with formatting the partition during windows Setup.


To do that:

1. Save all your important files to your document folder.

2. Restart the system and continue your installation process.

3. At partitioning do not format the Drive C and format every other drive.

4. Install on the Drive C.

5. After installation press Windows Key + R and type msconfig into the Run and click OK.

6. Click boot and hightlight the old OS and click delete and click OK and click restart.

7. Now go into your Drive C and look for Windows.old

8. Click Windows.old and look for document and copy everything to your desktop.

9. After finish copy the files in your windows.Old document follow this LINK to remove the old windows folder from your system.

10. Download ccleaner and clean your registry.

Have a great time. But be careful not to forget to format Drive C and remember to copy your files from the document folders in Windows.old directory.

well said but sometimes you can just run into some unforeseen problems that will not be solved until you do a format while already into windows installation thats why i will still advice a backup before windows installation and moreover some people do format to solve some hard disk problems which will not be solve until they do a complete format. cheers

abysirius: Some few months ago I got this new laptop and 1 of the vry first thing I noticed few days after I bought it was that the battery level stops going up even when the system is still connected to power. It's plugged but not charging. Initially it happens once battery level is about 80% full but not any more because it keeps goin down. Now it stops chargin d moment battery level is around 38%. Even recently I notice that the charging port is not contacting with power well. I'll need to squeez the pin in very well into d port for the system to b connected to power supply. Pls help!

brand new...as in you removed the packaging and still noticed this??

Don't tell me you didnt take it back to the seller or it's not covered?

If it's brand new as you saw best bet take it back to them...your battery, ac adapter is bad and it's too early to be changing those kind of things in a system except you acknowledge that you have used the system badly.

Optimisticgondy: I salute all the gurus on this great thread. I want to back up files on my system and format it, how may I go about it?

Optimisticgondy: Thanks to everyone who helped me on this one. I'm not formatting the system again cos I see it's not the cause of what I thought. What actually happened is I tried installing mt4 which I downloaded with a very good network, but it doesn't load at all and I have been experiencing this problem since Sunday. What I now discover is that Adobe flash player and pc suite on it have been uninstalled by someone who borrow it from me. Now when I tried downloading Adobe, pc suite and the microsoft essential shared on this thread, the system wouldn't finish with the downloading. The message I usually get is system does not support the download. Please what can I do?

mdsocks:

what operating system are you using bro?

Optimisticgondy: Samsung Window 7 Starter mini laptop. The RAM is 1GB and the processing speed is 1.86ghz. I've not been able to install all mt4 downloaded on it. Thanks

mdsocks:

did you fully download the applications...try using mozilla to download first

Optimisticgondy: i tried downloading the Mozilla right now, when it gets to 26%, it stopped and gave this message: ''This program is not commonly downloaded and could harm your computer''. This is the message I have been getting when I try to download anything including pc suite, adobe reader, microsoft essential,etc

mdsocks:

1. Click the Actions button in the displayed message
2. In the SmartScreen Filter dialog box, click the down arrow to the left of More options, and click Run anyway
