What I'm going to use to do this is a CD, it's called the Ultimate Boot CD, and you can download it from the internet, simply by searching for Ultimate Boot CD. You can download it and burn it to a black CD. Just pop the CD in your computer, and you have to boot to it, so turn the computer off, if it's not already, and then turn the computer back on. Computer will boot to the CD, since it notices that the CD has been inserted in the drive. Just press enter at the first screen that comes up, and Ultimate Boot CD gives you a list of options that you can run. I'm going to select main board tools.
