I would reformat drive c.

However, you want to make sure you have drivers for any important 
components, e.g. monitor, modem/router whichever you use to connect to the 
internet and any mother board drivers that may be needed.

Motherboard drivers, if needed, should have come with the PC or, if what you 
have is a recovery disk, many of these drivers may be included.

If you do not have the drivers, you may want to download them and put them 
on a cd before you format drive c.

Subject: [access-uk] Re-installing XP Home


Hi All

I've done my back ups and all is sorted out so I'm now ready to do my clean
re-install. I went to the WinXP disc to Install Windows hoping it would give
me a format command. What it gave me was that I couldn't install because the
version I have is newer than my disc. I assume this is from the countless
critical updates I've installed. It then gave me all sorts of dire threats
of what I mustn't do.

I can see two options open to me. Uninstall all the updates  which would
take forever and probably not work anyway. Or, more likely, do a format from
right clicking the mouse and then a straight install.

Comments and advice would be _most welcome here, please.

If you must choose between two evils, pick the one you've never tried
before.
