I'm not a complete noob, but I have never formatted a pc, so I will need some help before I do it.. I do have a recovery disk from the manufacturer (packard bell), but when I bought the pc it came with win 98, that means I should use my XP cd instead, doesn't it? (also, I have changed hardware since buying it: added RAM, an extra hard drive and USB 2.0, removed networking card)
Also, what about drivers and other things like that, what do I need to remember to back up apart from my own data? What sort of settings do I have to make sure to write down? (eg router/network settings - because somebody else set up my network and I wouldn't know how to configure it otherwise) I have been told that the first time you format you'll always forget at least one important thing, so I want to make sure that I have everything I need before I do it..
Any tips will be greatly appreciated!
