the installation media one way to do this is by pressing the power button and then immediately pressing the key for the boot menu this is usually the f12 key or the Escape key but it could also be f11 or f10 or even f8 some asu's computers might need you to press and hold the Escape key while you turn on the computer pressing the power button and then keep holding the Escape key until the boot menu appears on the boot menu use the arrow keys to move down and select the DVD Drive or the USB device if you can't get the boot menu to show up then you may need to enter the computers BIOS and change

prompt step for backup important files at this point you may want to backup important files unweight ooh back up your important data files is to connect an external hard drive or USB thumb drive to your computer and while you're here in command prompt you can type in notepad and press ENTER once you're a notepad click on file and then click open change files of type to all files now click on

errors and it may take a few hours to complete so you will have to wait when it is finished then take notice of how many bad sectors there are if there are any bad sectors on the hard drive then you will need to purchase a new hard drive and reinstall windows onto it and then you can copy your data from your backup back into Windows if there are 0 bad sectors on the hard drive and that is a good
