Hello,

I have a Toshiba Netbook and I'm trying to reformat the C drive to erase all my info before giving the computer to my daughter. It does not have CD Rom and the netbook didn't come wth any CD Roms, so how to I reformat the C Drive?

If it has no optical drive, how are you planning on loading an OS?

I'm going to assume this is a newer machine. If so, it probably supports booting from an USB drive. Try loading The Ultimate Boot CD onto a memory stick and see if you can get it to boot from that.
