Hi,

If you want to format your hard drive then this is not possible with Dell data safe Backup CD. To format a hard drive it is necessary for you to have the windows cd. But why do you want to reformat your system. If you are having some problems you can restore your system to some earlier date.

Dell data safe backup is a utility which provide your platform to keep your data safe. So that in case of any problem with data you can easily access it from Data backup. It is the utility which run in Windows and there is no way that you can reformat your hard drive using this.
