TS2: Burnination / The Podium / Re: Need to reformat computer and need info

I just deleted Partition2 and reinstalled because this is the first time I've done this and was a little freaked out that I would render the entire computer into a useless paperweight. Apparently Partition1 did contain spyware which I have now (theoretically) removed. Actually, the reformatting part was pretty easy. It took less time to do than it took me to reinstall the software the laptop came with. I'm used to inserting CD, hitting "next" a few times and finishing. It took me over an hour to figure out that I had to browse the CD and extract the files. I'm that much higher on the learning curve for the next time my kids/spouse do something stupid. Thanks for all the help.

We have plenty of AV software but my daughter was too stupid to install it. She pulled a midnight move and got herself an apartment by the college she attends because her dad and I apparently didn't understand her. Now that she's on her own I have become godlike in her eyes with the power to solve all her problems! Fortunately, I know how my kids are and I have a better computer for my Sims that I refuse to have Internet access on.

Thanks for the link. The partitioning part is confusing me, however. What shows up on the screen is: -: Partition1 [FAT] 16MB (8MB free) C: Partition2 [NTFS] 38131MB (28880MB free) Unpartitioned space 8MB Do I just delete Partition2 or both of them? How badly can I mess things up if I delete the wrong stuff? I'd hate to have to spend hours on this and then have to find someone to pay to do it anyway, but with three kids downloading spyware daily this would be a valuable skill for me to have.

My daughter's laptop seems to have a virus or spyware or something, and because she stupidly did not have an anti-virus program on it we can't remove it. We are unable to load the software on it now. It looks like we need to reformat. When I took it to the local computer store, they're going out of business and told me to just do it myself. If I knew how to do that I wouldn't be trying to pay them to do it! Can anyone point me to a tutorial (preferably one that assumes I have no knowledge of computers)?

The actual recipes are: apple juice - 3 apples (faster homework) beauty cocktail - 2 oranges, 2 cucumbers (love potion) eggplant juice - 2 eggplants (random skill points) lemonade - 6 lemons (cools sims down) orange juice - 6 oranges (cures colds) orangeade - 4 oranges, 2 lemons (random badge points) pepper punch - 2 peppers, 1 polebeans, 1 apple (energy boost) strawberry juice - 3 strawberries (clears furious bit) strawberry lemonade - 2 lemons, 2 strawberries (platinum mood) tomato juice - 3 tomatoes (warms sims up) vegetable cocktail - 1 tomato, 1 cucumber, 1 pepper, 1 polebeans (build skills faster) The Prima guide also says you only need 3 times the ingredients to serve juice (6 servings). This is also inaccurate, you actually need 6 times the ingredients.
