Ace blind leading the blind Member 3,657 Member For: 16y 7m 26d Gender: Male Location: Mt Alford, Queensland Posted 02/03/13 11:49 AM Share Posted 02/03/13 11:49 AM Pack it up take it to a computer repair place. Pay the fee and they will do it for you. Or poor water on it and get new one on insurance. If you can't get into recovery mode you won't be able to do drivers and the like once it is fresh installed Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/84182-how-to-format-a-laptop/page/3/#findComment-1368220 Share on other sites More sharing options...

k31th less WHY; more WOT Site Developer 29,485 Member For: 17y 27d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 02/03/13 04:39 PM Share Posted 02/03/13 04:39 PM Luckily for J@, the ECU is much simpler than a computer hahahahahNot surprised, as Freaky said, no dice on the straight answers Use external HDD to back the stuff up you want to keep, as a format IS DESTRUCTIVE...then use the F1 (or whatever works for your recovery mode) method to get to factory defaults, it'll smash the drive's contents into oblivion (not so much, realistically) and leave it in the state you originally bought it in (that's the idea, anyway).Good luck.
