problem solving guide
Having a problem with your personal computer ? Don’t know what to do ? Worry not ! Let me help you with your problems ! I hereby, have prepared a remedy guide (in a convenient FAQ format) that specifically addresses the most common problems that a personal computer could ever encounter.
Case #1
Q: [Scream!!] “My computer suddenly locks up with a blue screen !! ! What should I do !?” [panic, panic, louder scream]
A: Worry not. You have a corrupted operating system. Just get a bootable diskette with command prompt and insert it into your Floppy Disk Drive (FDD). Power off your computer (PC) and boot from that diskette. Then, type following command into the command prompt (without quotes) - “Format C:/q/u”. Press “Y” key when prompted to proceed. Reinstall your OS.
Case #2
Q: “I kept having annoying pop ups that says ‘Illegal Operation’. It’s annoying… [bitch bitch bitch]. What should I do ?”
A: My best guess, is that your operating system is corrupted. Do not worry. Just get a bootable diskette with command prompt and insert it into your FDD. Power off your PC and boot from that diskette. Then, type the following command into the command prompt (without quotes) - “Format C:/q/u”. Press “Y” key when prompted to proceed. Reinstall your OS.

all - your FDD should work. If it doesn’t, discard it. Nothing can help you. You’ll need to get a new PC - that has a working FDD.
Actually the MS troubleshooting guide is like this:
a) Reboot
b) Reboot again
c) If this fails, reinstall OS
