A friends computer crashed and they want me to fix it which I'm going to do. The computer crashed as a result of viruses (well I assume this is the reason as they think they had some viruses like trojan horses) when they try to start up their computer they get the option of normal mode, safe mode etc. no matter which mode they choose they get the message "Windows Protection Error. You need to restart your computer. System Halted". So I'm going to reformat their computer, but I haven't really had much experience doing this so how do I go about doing this? This is a Windows ME Computer If someone could please answer some of the question I have that would be great thanks. Do I need a startup disk to get the computer to start working in order to reformat it? or will that not work? if not how do I get it to work? is getting the computer to work not nessacary to reformat the computer? If I download a Windows ME Startup disk from the Internet will that work? Once I get the computer started how do I reformat the computer? Do I need anything special to reformat the computer? Such as a serial key, password or special disk? Once I reformat will the computer still have things like Microsoft word on it? Thanks. If you could even answer just one question that would be great help!!! Thanks so much!
