How To Reformat a Compaq Computer

Compaq is one of the largest suppliers of personal computers and laptops. It first started as an independent company but then it was acquired by Hewlett-Packard. Despite the change, one thing remained the same and that it the good quality that these computers have.

But no matter how good the quality of your PC is, once it is attacked by computer viruses, you will need to reformat it to bring it back to its usable state. Reformatting a Compaq PC is quiet easy especially if you know what to do. All you’ll need are the Windows installation disc and its product key for you to get started.

    Put in the Windows installation disc. You can use the Windows XP or Windows Vista installation disc to reformat your computer. This will reinstall the operating system in your computer and will format your hard drive either in the FAT or NTFS file system.
    Restart your computer. When your computer restarts press F2 for you to be able to access the BIOS. The BIOS allows all the computer’s components to communicate with each other. When you enter the BIOS, look for the option “Boot Sequence” then choose “Boot to CD”.
    Exit the BIOS. Once you have saved the changes in the boot sequence, exit the BIOS then restart your computer.
