Mr Motivator Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 I've got XP. Tomorow I'm going to save all the files and programs that I want to keep to disk and then get rid of everything. How? Is there a factory setting thing to wipe it but keep windows? Help, Sam :shifty: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delusional Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 Hmm, when I bought this is came with lots of paper and a few CDs. Who knows where all that is, but would there be a windows install CD amongst that? There should be some sort of Windows install CD among all that; however, if it came from a large computer retailer the chances are the Windows CD it supplied will be tinkered with to install all sorts of random crap (at least, this always used to be the case). You're best bet to get a nice clean install is probably to find someone who has a 'pure' Windows cd kicking around they can lend you, or get on a p2p thing somewhere and download one. Of course, the cd supplied may have been a 'pure' Windows CD (not really sure how to tell without trying it, although the label often makes it obvious if it's going to install something other than just Windows), in which case it would be best to use that; or, you may be happy to have some random, manufacturer specific rubbish installed in exchange for the certainty you won't have to spend any time looking for drivers (unless you've changed any components since you bought the machine), in which case, you again may as well use the supplied CD.
