How to format G73?

Hey guys,

I wanna reformat the laptop because of the 4 partions that it comes with.
But I was wondering how would I do it?

Woould it be something like this?

1. Put the Win7 disc into the drive (cant seem to find the disc anywhere)
2. Restart the computer and boot from disc
3. Delete all partitions
4. Create 2 new partitions (I want 2 partitions, 500gb each)
5. Install Windows 7
6. Put the utility/driver disc in install all the drivers


Can someone help me on what to do?
Cheers.

 

It doesn't come with Windows disk or recovery disk, you can burn the recovery disk use Asus Ai recovery program, but it'll just restore your HD to the factory settings just like the day you received.

You can merge partitions by:
1: Click Windows logo (the start button).
2: right click Computer and left click Manage
3: Click Disk Management.
4: from there you can delete and merge partitions.

 

Thanks for the reply.

So I can merge drives without formatting?

 

Yes you can, for 2nd HD I usually just delete both partitions and for do a quick format, but for primary HD since C: partition contain the OS so you can delete them, you'll have to delete the 2nd partition on C: drive and merge them.

 

So to get two partitions of 500gb this is what i need to do:

1. Delete both partitions on the 2nd HHD
2. Do a quick format
3. Delete the 2nd partition on the 1st HHD
4. Merge it with the 1st partition

Cheers.

 

Yes that's what you need to do.

 

Cheers thanks alot.

I'll give it a try.

Edit: Seems to work. w00000t
