How to Format Windows 8

While you can format any drives connected to your computer in Windows 8, you can't format the drive partition that actually contains the Windows 8 files. To do this, you'll need to either start an operating system installation so that the drive is formatted, or use a drive erasing program like DBAN.

Method:-

Formatting a Hard Drive to Install Windows 8

Step 1:

Backup any important data. Formatting your hard drive will delete everything on it, so make sure that all of your important files are backed up somewhere safe

Step 2:

Insert your Windows 8 DVD. The easiest way to format your hard drive is to reinstall your operating system, which will format the drive in the process. You will need your Windows 8 installation DVD in order to do this.[1]

  • Note: This guide will walk through the steps for formatting and installing Windows 8, but you can use this method with any version of Windows or Linux. Most versions of both Windows and Linux have very similar installers that will guide you through the process.

  • If you only have an ISO file for your operating system.

Step 3:

Restart your computer.

Step 4:

Open your computer's BIOS menu before Windows boots. The key to open the BIOS menu is typically F2, F10, F11, or Del. Your computer will display the proper key before Windows loads.

Open the BOOT menu in your BIOS. This will allow you to change the order of devices that your computer tries to boot from.

Step 6

Set your DVD drive as the primary drive. This will make your computer try to boot from the DVD first, allowing you to start the Windows 8 installation.

Step 7

Save your changes and exit the BIOS. Your computer will reboot.

Step 8

Press any key when prompted to start the Windows 8 installation. The setup program may take a few minutes to load.
