What keys do I press to reformat my Windows Vista computer? COMPUTER GEEKS NEEDED!!!! lol....?

I need to reformat my computer because something went completely wrong, so I put all my important documents and songs, videos, and pictures on an external hard drive. So what do I have to do to reformat it? Like what keys do I press to get into the "mode" so I can reformat it?

Update:

putting in my DVD did nothing...

  • wow. get your vista disk and start the computer with the disk in it. if nothing happens then you need to go into your settings in the BIOS. a little message appears in the beginning to teel you which key to press. and make sure that the boot order, has cd at the top. then when you start the computer you go into the cd, and you can just follow the onscreen instructions to format, and put vista back on it.

    you don't need to know what the BIOS is. right when you turn on the computer, somewhere on the screen it will say, press *** to enter bios settings or something close to it. it will be DEL, F2, F3, F1... one of those. once in there look for something called the boot order.
