Well someone gave me their computer for spare parts and i found a 40 gig hard drive. the only problem is her computer was messed up by a virus. i was wondering if i format the hard drive will it get rid of the virus and if so how do u do that?
ok what you do is connect the hard drive as a slave drive to another computer, and then when it appears in my computer, right click it and click format.
well i'm not sure, the best thing i would think to do would be to temporarily replace that hard drive in your computer, format it, then replace the original hard drive.
I wouldn't just plug it in, I would format it with a Windows disk, then put you're original drive in and format the other drive in windows so you can use the space.
