If you are one of the seekers for such a method to format hard drive , you are on the right page. You don&#8217;t need to be a tech savy to do this. All you need is a USB stick/pen drive and a windows CD/DVD or atleast windows image/setup files.<br /> Lets begin with the procedure. First of all we need to prepare the pen drive/USB stick. Ensure that your pen drive/USB stick is virus free and empty and has enough space to hold all the windows setup files that is on the windows CD/DVD. Plugin you pen drive/USB stick. Then open Command-Prompt(cmd.exe) with ADMIN rights.<br /> <strong>Type in and do the following as directed using bit of common sense:<br /> 1. Diskpart<br /> 2. List Disk<br /> 3. Select Disk 1<br /> 4. Clean<br /> 5. Create Partition primary<br /> 6. Select partition 1 active<br /> 7. Format fs=NTFS<br /> 8. Assign<br /> 9. Exit</strong></p><p>After you are done with this you just need to copy the windows setup files to the pen drive/USB stick. Now you have to enable USB booting in BIOS setup and also set pen drive/USB stick in the first preference on top to boot from. Just plugin and use you pen drive/USB stick to format hard drive of your computer same like a windows CD/DVD.</p><p><a href="http://www.geeknoob.com">A Layman&#039;s Guidebook - Noob&#039;s Journey to GeekLand</a></p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.geeknoob.com/format-hard-drive-usb-drive/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Hello World !</title><link>http://www.geeknoob.com/hello-world/</link> <comments>http://www.geeknoob.com/hello-world/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 18 Apr 2012 07:22:14 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>GeekNoob</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[General]]></category> <category><![CDATA[featured]]></category> <category><![CDATA[headline]]></category> <category><![CDATA[hello]]></category> <category><![CDATA[intro]]></category> <category><![CDATA[world]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.geeknoob.com/?p=1</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p><p><a href="http://www.geeknoob.com/hello-world/">Hello World !</a></p><p>Welcome to your gateway of online knowledge oasis.
