I have finally decided that I am going to re-install Windows XP.
I've had this computer now, for a while and it has been my first computer. Thus, I've made all my mistakes on this machine.
I would now, as a more advanced user, like to totally wipe out everything (save my folders to a CD) and re-install everything CLEAN like when I first got the PC. (then I will be adding some RAM and it will be like new, right :D?)
However I have lots of questions about this because I don't want to end up getting into any trouble here: 1. How? Do I simply insert the Windows CD and it will take care of everything? 2. Will Windows recognize everything? I did not set up this computer (bought from Dell). I have all these setup disks and stuff but will I need anything other than Windows CD? Or will it noticed my integrated CD/CD-RW, monitor etc, (I know Printer, Cameras will be deleted, right?)
I appreciate any help I can get, and any pertinent links to this situation. Thank~you!
