Why do you feel you need to reformat the hard drive? Yes, wiping and starting from known-good sources is extremely certain to get rid of all sorts of problem, and, yes, sometime Windows gets crufty enough to warrant it. But most virus removal processes don't require being that extreme.
Reformatting the hard drive is simple enough if you have a CD-ROM to install Windows from. Simply tell it to format the partition when you boot it. Not all Windows install CDs are created equal, though: some won't install Windows if you do wipe the drive.
All I know is that I was fine then when I went to google, my computer locked, then I reboot my computer and it wont load windows at all. I was fine(my computer was fine before I looked on the site). I will try and see if I can reinstall windows crosses fingers my computer is pretty new.
just letting you know
