Please bare in mind that this will completely wipe your drive of any data, so do a back up of any data before hand.

according to what i understood it will delete all the data in the computer. like FORMAT or worse. i could just fotmat the coputer but i'm not doing it because i dont have all the drivers for the computers hardware. is there any other way to do this or i'm wrong understanding the thing that this program does?

If the "Pboot" is in there then delete it.

where is that "add and remove" section?
i installed the software and i dont see it. i see only local disks...

Through the registry.
Or it might just be an extra partition on your drive that it is booting up from. If so this can be removed. Have a look in "disk management" and see if there is an extra partition. But you will still need your drivers for everything just in case something goes wrong. Be a good idea to get the Xp disk while you are at it. If your system goes down, what software are you going to use to bring it back on line?. A Windows disk will come in handy here.

... or school lab.

It's going to reset everything each time it's booted!

:D

so formating or killing the disk with the program mantioned above will solve the problem or not?

by thumbsup2

Yes, formatting will destroy everything on that particular partition. You'll need to re-load the OS and supply all manufacturer's drivers to get the machine back up and running.
