Formatting OS without CD drive

I am using a windows 8 OS. My usb drive is suddenly not recognizing any devices after windows installed an update. Further during a recent home shifting my CD drive got damaged. I want to know whether I should format my system. If yes how can I format my system without a CD drive & USB drives. However I have another computer connected in a LAN. Will it be of any help.

Please give me a solution. Thanks in advance.

 

Hi kanishkaroy07, Welcome to Windowsbbs.
Have you tried Deleting the Update?
Go to Control Panel > Windows Update > view update history > installed updates to carry out Removal. Neil

 

thank you for ur suggestion.... i will try it & get back to you

 

actually when I was trying to connect my external drive it wasn't getting connected. I checked in Device Manager & it showed USB mass storage driver is corrupted. I thought the problem might be the device but it worked fine in my other computer. So i think the problem is actually the USB drivers if I am not wrong.

Any more suggestions?????

 

Uninstall them and then reboot and let windows reinstall them.

 

thanx to everyone 4 their suggestions. Uninstalling the updates wasn't working. so I went 4 system restore & it worked. thanx again!!!!!!!!!!!!
