Format?

Does CTRL + F12 @ bootup format your computer? or is this only Dell's?
I'm in need of a serious format but i've broken my windows disk <_<

 

Depends on your motherboard/BIOS.

 

yes, what he said.

though, there is a legal way around that..

if your friend(s) has the same version as you, ex, ---/home, retail/oem, you can use their disk using your serial that came with your computer.

 

Would downllading this work at all?

and where can i find my serial number on my computer

 

So no it wont work. You serial number should be on a microsoft sticker on your machine, mmight be on the back of the case, or with the documentation that came with it.

 

/growl any suggestions?

 

try above?

 

grr no1 near me knows what one does, and one of them told me to do the CTRL + F12 thingy <_<
