Due to all of the uneccessary junk on my computer and all of the problems it has, I have decided I want to reformat it. :tazz: What I don't know is how to do that, and how to reinstall Windows XP/Internnet/Mail/Microsoft Word (and all the others). I'll appreciate any help.

boot using your XP CD and do a freash new install (make sure you are installing a freash copy and NOT updating or repairing), it will ask you where you want to install, you just have to select where you want to install it and it will format the partion/drive for you.

I would add that you must also buckup all your E-mail and ducuments. Even better still bye Norton Goast an ues that to do a complete back of your hard drive operating system, setting and all, it would be very good it you muck every thing up which I hope you will not do any way.
