At first you do not need to format your Hard Drive at all for the sake of this little problem.

Suggestion:
Go to control panel of your system then move to keyboard and check the language setting including the layout.

If you are on a Mac, this is what you do:

Click on the apple in the upper left corner of your screen.

Select System Preferences

Select International

Click on Input Menu

Then select the language you want, ie: American or whatever.

That should do the trick!

Good Luck!!!

I had similar problems with my HP Notebook.

The solution was to hold down the ctrl+fn and TAP right shift key. The tapping is important. I tried several times by holding down the right shift key and it did not work.
