Ubuntu took over my computer and i cannot reformat it,it keeps coming up with the bue screen error please help :L
Boot it with gparted. How do you know when a politician is lying? His mouth is moving.
How are you trying to reformat?
trying to format with XP disk
You need to wipe out the partitioning, create new partitions, THEN format.
Yeah but i cannot delete partition at all i cant do anything the comp rejects it and when i reformat blue screen error
Gparted isnt working
ok got rid of ubuntu and gave up on XP but i got vista and i keep getting : error code 0x80010017 what can i do?
Did you create an NTFS partition on the drive with whatever boot disc you used? How do you know when a politician is lying? His mouth is moving.
Run memtest or memory diagnostics. 1/3 of highway deaths are caused by drunks. The rest are by people who can't drive any better than a drunk.
What does a mem test have to do with it? He just doesn't know how to create a partition. How do you know when a politician is lying? His mouth is moving.
"Yeah but i cannot delete partition" How are you trying to do it? If you want to install XP, boot off the XP disk, "press any key" when you see the prompt, then follow the instructions. When you get to the screen about partitions, press D to Delete, press L to confirm - you will then have unpartitioned space. Press C to create a new partition, then format as NTFS (full). This shouldn't need to be explained to you, it's right on the screen in front of your face.
"What does a mem test have to do with it?"
If he's getting blue screen errors, he may have a hardware problem & it may be memory related. There's only one way to find out - test the RAM by running memtest86 or memtest86+.
Both xp and vista installs fail. That to me means time to start hardware diags of some kind. 1/3 of highway deaths are caused by drunks. The rest are by people who can't drive any better than a drunk.
Yeah i did but that error came up
Did you run memtest???????????? ???

In my opinion, blue screen means hardware problem. Run memtest, as previously stated.
If you can't delete the partition using gparted, Live CD http://gparted.sourceforge.net/live...
I'd suspect Hard disk problem.
Go to the hard disk manufactures site to get test tool.
Or just ignore this, along with the other posts giving you advice.
A thank you would be nice, if I have helped.
