    Unabale to Reformat

    I wanted to reformat my laptop. Unfortunately, when I loaded in my Vista CD, it just boot up like normal. It didn't even bring me to the page to format. I tried my driver CD which I burned, nothing happen. It just boot up like normal. I then tried Kaspersky Rescue Disc, it didn't get booted up. It went to the welcome screen of Vista and my computer booted up like normal.

    Now I am worried as how am I going to reformat my laptop in the future?

    How am I going to reformat my laptop and have Windows 7 running since all CD I put in don't work?

    HELP!!!!!

    I need my laptop to recognize bootable disc...
    Thoughts are like a never ending ocean where it is deep, endless and dangerous

    I have another question. Why is it on my house desktop, when I plug in a pendrive more than 1GB, my computer will stop at the energy star page? The same thing happen if I use an external hard disk. But then when I removed the pendrive/hard disk, it will continue booting.

    But if I use a 256mb pendrive, it boot up like normal

    Care to explain?

    It might be booting off your USB, thinking there is a file on it to boot from. Just leave your flash drive unplugged.
