Does anyone have any videos on how to format your computer? Mine is a a couple years old and its just bogged down by everything on it. I feel it needs a fresh start. I know how to install everything once windows is off the computer but I do not know how to delete everything and start new.

Looking for any help you can give me.

Insert the windows disc into the DVD drive.
Reboot PC.
Watch the screen for "Press any key to boot from CD..." or something similar.
Press a key

Should be able to figure it out from there.

If that doesn't work, you have to enter the BIOS and change the boot priority so that your DVD drive is #1 and HDD is #2.

How do I figure out the BIOS if I have to enter it?
Thank you for responding.
