Starting anew

cardshark202 · 2007-07-28 13:02:38

Hi, I currently have a dell 9100 inspiron laptop with windows XP pro. I would like to completely wipe the system and start afresh, keeping a few files and progams(and their settings) that are important to me. Whats my best way of doing this? I will also probably reformat my HD while I'm at it. Thanks

Thats your answer right there, format and reinstall. Backup whatever you want to keep to a seperate partition, external HDD or CD\DVD-R.
