Can’t Format Computer

by bucc111 . Updated 17 years, 5 months ago

I am trying to format my computer because I have a virus or something. For some reason my CD-Drive doesn’t work and i tried uninstalling it and installing it again it still doesn’t work. But I don’t think that is the problem because i have formated my computer without using the cd-drive with my cd-rw and it usually works. But it doesnt work anymore. Everytime i restart my computer it would just load up to my desktop.IT would not ask me to push any key to boot from disk. Someone told me to check my setting to set it to boot from cd-drive but that still doesnt work. I haven tried almost everything and i dont know what else to do now. I was thinking about booting from the USB. I copied all the files from windows reinstallation disk into my USB but when i try to boot from my USB i woulds get a message saying not operation or something like that. I checked my setting on that and it says USB not installed so i dont know what i should do now. Can anyone help?
