I have a Laptop, but the CD ROM is spoil, how do i format it without a CD ROM?

Question

I don't plan to buy a new CD ROM because i juz bought a new Laptop.

Answer 1

You can format your laptop but I would assume you would then want to reinstall your OS? It is very difficult to do so without a CDROM drive as most OS released since the mid 90s are on CDROMs. Formatting is really not recommended unless you have a plan on reinstalling your OS.

Answer 2

As the CD-Rom has been spoiled. There are ways you can format the harddisk.



But again you will need a CD-Rom to install the OS. I would rather suggest you to purchase a new external CD-ROM and carry on with your operations.



If you have bought a new laptop than you can call the tech support and ask for the replacement.

Answer 3

1) check if the laptop is still on warranty if so first fix the CD ROM



2) Without a CDROM drive it is very difficult or near impossible to load the OS.. you can however format it -like how others have said..

Answer 4
