How can I reformat a computer to get rid of crapware - if the reformat disc has said crapware on it?
-
you know-- HP, Dell, etc. to keep costs low they put all that crapware on it. yeah i can go to uninstall programs and uninstall stuff- but there are some hidden things too. for instance when playing the sims i pressed ctrl+shift+c to type in a cheat code. but what came up? some HP health check thing. i couldnt type in the cheat code. it wasnt on add or remove programs either. luckily, i found a way to disable that shortcut. i always hear people say "format that computer when you get it to get rid if the crap ware". okay i can do that... but the reformat disc HAS THE CRAPWARE ON IT. How can overcome these sneaky bastards? :P

Answer:
Just borrow an original windows cd and then format your hard drive and use this cd to reinstall. its perfectly legal as you have the COA on your computer. and yes i agree hp and the like load pcs with crapware that u will never use.
