Visto lo visto, creo que voy a hacer un low-level format e instalar este Windows (de hecho ya me lo estoy bajando: http://thepiratebay.se/torrent/6719806/Windows_7_Ultimate_Fully_Activated_Genuine_x86_x64_-_Team___M-J-

No tengo ni idea de cómo hacer el low-level format, ¿cómo podría hacerlo?

La versión de Windows que voy a instalar, ¿es buena o, por el hecho de venir de serie "pirateada" puede contener malware?

Un saludo.

Me da un poco de "yuyu" descargarme Windows desde un link publicado en una página de hackers...

Me refiero a este link: http://foro.elhacker.net/windows/ediciones_oficiales_de_windows_7_con_sp1_integrado_descargas_directas_aqui-t355133.0.html
