As it has been about 15 years since I used a Windows PC computer, I need some help please!
My elderly neighbour wants to donate her old obsolete PC to Jamies computers (she now has an iPad instead)
So I am helping her as she isn't very mobile, but she wants to format it first as she is concerned about someone getting her stuff (ie nicking all the money from her bank account)
I am vaguely aware that the normal way would be to insert the original Windows CD and format the drive from that, but she has no CD.
So in this case how do we format the drive?
