Topic Wiki

I figured that even this thread can have a wiki.
If your computer or phone is giving you issues:

• Please read this before posting: 4 Reasons Why IT People Ignore Your Requests for Help
• Restart the computer. Hopefully this will take care of any issues
• If your problem has not yet been solved, try to Google it. There may be a very simple solution
• On a Windows computer, a system restore may do the trick.
(This is a work in progress, please feel free to add whatever you may feel is helpful)


Please post whether or not the problem was fixed

I want to reinstall windows,  I've bought a Windows 7 installation boot disk,  do I need to just insert the disk and open it?  Do I need to boot into something different?  If Yes how do I do it?
Will everything get deleted?

I went into the boot menu I have 6 options
1. IDEO
2. IDE1
3. USB FDD
4. NETWORK BOOT
5. USB HD
6. USB CDROM

which one of those should I pick when if I want to boot it from the disc?
