    Im not sure if this is the right place but anyway... I have my pc now for about four years... When I first got it I never thought of reformatting it and I lost the cd so I couldnt..

    Then I found a website dsgrecovery.com and they gave the reformat disks for my "exact" pc..

    I got them and reformatted every 6 months not a problem!

    Then I upgraded my pc with new graphics card and ram and I still could reformat it as I suspected I could!

    Now I have a new motherboard and im not sure if I can still do and im too scared to try to be honest!

    I havn't formatted it in over a year now and its starting to slow down.. like from when I had usually formatted it!

    I plan on upgrading again for christmas and I would like to be able to reformat the thing before I do upgrade, have it nice and fresh you know!

    Im just wondering can I still reformat it even though the disks are for my "exact" pc and I have a new motherboard im thinking there might be some driver issuse then again I dont have a clue lol... I dont want to go buying windows xp when I upgrade!


    Any help would be greatly appriciated!

    I would say not with the disc you got from the website, did any discs come with the new motherboard?

    www.driverguide.com has drivers for pretty much every piece of hardware ever made. the manufacturer's websites will have them too. i don't use any of the disks that came with my computer now because they're all out of date.
