Friend has "nuked" his windows 7 laptop, at boot all he gets is the error message "boot failed - a required device is missing - insert your instaLLation disc"
Obviously, he hasn`t got one as win 7 came pre-loaded and he doesn`t want to fork out for it!
He has a copy of win xp service pk 3 from his old computer that he has tried to put on it, but it won`t allow him to format the drive first, it just goes straight in to Set-up, then fails.
Anybody care to recommend a free download formatting app that i can burn to cd - so that he can "nuke it" properly before he tries to put xp on?
or any other suggestions welcomed!
Ta!
