The forum will be undergoing maintenance as things progress forward. SMF2 is a little buggy on our forum, and I will be working to iron out some of those bugs, and to restore the forum to a similar and familiar home for us to the one that we used to have.

Mate, if I could wipe the drive using F11, I wouldn't be asking for help. I already downloaded DBAN, and tried that. It doesn't seem to be working.
And it's not my computer. There's nothing personal about me on it. The person who owned it before he left it to my friend in it's current virus-**** state didn't even know I existed. Thus, magnet-wiping is pointless.

if it's a virus, try a blank CD and download Geek Squad software then. That might work by bring up extra options.
If anything, hit f11 or any of the F keys to see what happens. If that fails, get on google and try that <<.
And if you decide to get a new harddrive, then actually take a magnet to your old one to destroy the memory.

Everything looks normal, yes, though I'm not the best judge of that.
Like I said, it apparently got uber-**** by viruses before i got my hands on it.
I'm thinking about saying **** it and getting a new harddrive.

hmm, you want a memory wipe correct?
If it's not even booting, it might be something broken in your computer, open it & take a peek inside it and tell me if everything seems normal. I know some things about computer hardware

You know that I know that you're the most computer literate of everyone here, so don't reply like that man =P
I'm probably second in line behind you. I know how to break a computer, and it's parts, I was just joking around.
When you look up and save child **** and bestiality, you have to destroy a lottttttt of hard drives......
Eww, no, again, kidding.

Probably? More like would. I'm not that hardware illiterate.

Take a magnet to the hard drive..... just kidding. That would probably kill it. =P

I knew that already. But it's so virus-**** that it doesn't even boot, as I said, so I can't just wipe it back to factory settings. I need to know how to wipe the computer without booting it.
Power on, yes. Two beeps, no display, nothing. Never reaches the booting screen, so i can't, say, hit F11, and pull up System Repair.

not good with this stuff, ya know.
But as far as I can tell, an entire memory wipe and then reinstalling what ever operating system you want, should help out >_>

So, I've recently come into possession of an Alienware computer(I didn't buy it, it was a gift), but the only problem is that the previous owner lent it out to someone, and that someone got it virus ****, now it won't even boot properly.
So, does anyone know how to wipe a hard drive without taking it to someone? I'd rather not spend what little money I have.
