It's already on your computer. Search for it. Or you can just type it into Run. Not sure if it's what you want though.

Technically no. There will still be bits and pieces left over - the hard drive will have to be low-level formated in order to ensure those are removed.

But, from a (l)user's standpoint, yes. You won't be able to boot windows (if you are, it won't work right). But that MyDoom virus will be gone!

What did you think 'format' meant?

I'm a man, but I can change, if I have to.I guess. 
Or you could always try the handy-dandy usb to ac adapter, then you don't have to worry about anything!
