C. Motherboard drivers disc.
D ISP disc with Modem/DSL drivers and setup.

How to back up Outlook Express items

Step 1: Copy message files to the backup folder

Step A: Locate the Store folder

1. Start Outlook Express.
2. Click Tools, and then click Options.
3. On the Maintenance tab, click Store Folder.
4. In the Store Location dialog box, copy the store location. To do this, follow these steps:
a. Put the mouse pointer at one end of the box under the Your personal message store is located in the following folder box.
b. Press and hold the left mouse button, and then drag the mouse pointer across the Your personal message store is located in the following folder box.

Step 2: Export the Address Book to a .csv file

Important Make sure that you follow this step if you use multiple identities in Outlook Express.

Microsoft Outlook Express 5.x and Microsoft Outlook Express 6.0 use a Windows Address Book (.wab) file to store Address Book data. The individual data for each identity is stored in a folder by user name within the .wab file that is used.

The only way to separate the Address Book data for different identities is to export the data to a .csv file while you are logged in as a specific identity. If the .wab file becomes dissociated from the user identities, the data can be exported only as one total. In this case, the data cannot be exported folder by folder.

There is another reason to export the .wab file to a .csv file. If the .wab file not exported to a .csv file, but the .wab file is shared with Microsoft Outlook, the addresses are stored in the personal folders (.pst) file in Outlook. When you export the file to a .csv file by using the File menu in Outlook Express, the correct contacts are exported. However, if the Address Book is shared with Outlook, you cannot use the File menu option to export from the Address Book. This option is unavailable.

To export the Address Book to a .csv file, follow these steps:

1. On the File menu, click Export, and then click Address Book.
2. Click Text File (Comma Separated Values), and then click Export.

3. In the Save In box, select the Mail Backup folder, and then click Save.

5. Click Close.

Step 4: Export the newsgroup account to a file

1. On the Tools menu, click Accounts.
2. On the News tab, click the news account that you want to export, and then click Export.
3. In the Save In box, select the Mail Backup folder, and then click Save.

on topic:

before magrereformat dapat kumpleto na kau sa rekados.

1. bootable image / window cd (ung mismung OS).
2. dvd/cd rom.. kng saan ilalagay ang bootable cd/image

3. drivers.. pwde wla muna e2 pwo mas maganda kng nkahanda na agad para tuloy tuloy ang processo.

speaking of drivers yan ung mga support software ng mobo nyu (mother board) such as audio, video, chip cheat, & etc.. pwde mu yang ma-DL ng libre sa net.. type mu lng ang number ng mobo.. at lalabas na ang mga link. nkaimprinta mismu sa board ang board number kaya no problemo.

by the way kng meron kaung important file na gusto isalba, tama save nyu muna ito sa ibang storage gaya ng USB stick/Flash Drive.. para pag tapoz na ang pagrereformat ay transfer nyu nlng ang files...

sige po mga master download ko muna. iyong number ng main board ay post ko na lang po ulit. hindi ko po kasi nasilip.

READ AND UNDERSTAND... :|
hOPE YOU CAN FOLLOW THE STEPS..

1) All computer has BIOS ( Basic input/output system). Here, you can set up how your PC will run. It is a blue colored full screen with different tabs like general, exit, devices and many more. Go to BIOS by simply hitting del (delete) continuously after restarting your computer.



2) Once in BIOS, look for the booting set up. Listed there are the devices which computer normally boots. ( Harddisk, CD-rom, Floopy Disk and Network)

3) Place the CD-Rom as the first boot and see to it that the bootable CD of Operating system you want is inserted in the CD-Rom. Then Place harddisk as the second booting device. Third and fourth booting devices are not usually important.



4) Save the changes and Exit. This will restart your computer automatically.



5) When your computer restarts wait until you see a message saying.........
Boot to CD........<----if this showed up hit any key to boot to CD. This will make your computer refer to the CD.



6) They will ask you if you want to delete or to create a new partition. For me just delete the partition and do not create anymore partitions. This will only slows your computer down.



7) After Deleting the partitions, they will ask you if you wanted to format you PC. There are 4 choices in there:

a. Quick format (FAT)
b. Format (FAT)
c. Quick format (NTSF)
d. Format (NTSF)

Choose the format either NTSF or FAT. Sometimes quick formatting result to corruption of some files.




8.) The computer will copy the contents needed from the CD to your PC and installs it. Windows will appear but i know when you see one you can understand what to do. It will just ask for date and time and user name if you want to.







9) After the installation is complete the computer will automatically restart.

10) Once restarted, set the display in your choice. You can do anything now. Congratulations, you now can reformat PC.

+1 ka sa akin sis korey18. pa edit na rin ng post mu.. nwala kasi ang mga images sa page1
