a couple questions... one: ive got a lot of shit on my hdd that its acting up and all. and i was wondering if there was a way to re-format the hdd without having to reinstall windows? if so, is there also a way to choose what files you dont want to be deleted? question 2: say that i had another hdd that i needed to reformat. but i dont have the windows disk. is it possible to reformat it, then copy the windows files from the hdd that already has windows to the one that i just formatted?
@Tybro9 The way to do this is to put the OS disc in and booting from it and doing a repair install. or a fresh install without choosing the formating options. theoretically i can see a possibility in regards to this. You may just have to do it via MS DOS though. Putting the command like: Copy C:\windows to D;\ for e.g. I hope that helps...
that helps alot. but i should just clear somethin up here for a sec... so in other words, i cant do this without the OS disc?
Well I don't see how its possible to do it without having the CD because when you may be removing files you may remove a file that the program needs to make you run. I recommend getting a disc.
anytime mate If you have no CD try the second option i gave u in the first reply i wrote. but please note i have not tried that so its at your won risk.
