    I can not remember how to wipe my system completly and reinstal everything. I know its one of the F1-12 keys, and you go to a sub menu and gives you an option on wiping all of the harddrive so i can reinstall everything.

    Understand that reformatting and reinstalling is always a last ditch effort, because it puts you months or even years behind in security updates, patches, drivers, and more.

    If you are having problems, perhaps if you told us about them, we can help you resolve them without going through such drastic measures.

    Right on, Digerati!

    What is your make/model PC, processor/memory, and which OS are you running?

    And why do you want to re-install?

    The more info you post, the better for working toward a resolution.
