first: bloodpack... didn't contradicted you, rather i enlightened you by answering to your question... as the fact that he doesn't have a PC but a MAC !
second: SCORPONOK... have i not said that we don't see him lot in the chat rooms ? if yes then it hink i mentionned that MAC have lots problems playing the game, which is BTW, like JAVA and is suppoose to work on all machines ! only have 1 guess as to why it doesn't work tho... that's DIRECTX which MACs aren't using !
THIRD: PANDA_MAN... when you don't know what a computer is, you don't go arguing with a technician !
again here is the descriptioln of a BOOT DISK and the two primal tool of a technician who has to have to bring back a computer to its when bought stage !
*FORMAT.COM*
a little software used to bring erase every single bytes on a hard drive and completely removes the OS (windows, linux, msdos and the likes)
basically, nothing is there anymore and the computer doesn't even start anymore !
*FDISK*
little tool that is used to make PARTITIONS on a harddrive and make him be read and detectable by the computer !
see... nothing and i mean nothing... is still there after a FORMAT !
no software can survive that little program... cause to survive the program would have to be kept in RAM... which is the only memory that can be read/writen in... but when you shut down the computer for about 5 minutes and more... that memory will not be even existing anymore, since no JUICE is in the computer anymore !
example:
a computer is only working in binaries.. 1 and 0 ... 1 means electricity is passing thru, 0 means no electricity is passing thru. so basically, when there is no electricity in the computer, there can't be anything working in there or even existing in there !
exception's are... removable media, such as HARD DRIVES which uses a physical disk to literally burn things so they can be kept intact while the computer is turned off !
so yeah, i know what i'm talking about when i say that VIRUSes will never survive when you bring a disk back to zero !
if you don't like FORMAT and think it still is unliable... then go LOW LEVEL FORMAT the drive ! which is a tool made by the company to bring their drives into the state they were in when you bought it !
BTW, LOW LEVEL FORMAT can be used to bring back a DRIVE that was HFS+ (apple file system) transformed !
which means, an APPLE DRIVE if was initially made for a PC, can be be seen again by a PC... even if formatted in HFS+ !
(i actually tryed this one... because i had to put the drive in a PC)
now shut it up PANDA !
