I have 3 year old getway desk top computer. I tried to reformatt hard drive by using disks that cameoriginally
when I purchased the computer. I am unable to reformatt the computer. Can any one help me?
 
Gateway used to have two settings - the first just did a reinstall of windows over top of the current system. The second way would be a "destructive" format.

I can't remember the exact procedure. It was not to hard if you read the choices closely - but it was not intuitive either. Maybe someone with the software in front of them can chime in. Also, you may check Gateway's site for info.
