Ok, Im on my laptop as I type this, I am about to reinstall windows on my desktop. I want to Completely wipe the harddisk and start from scratch.
Could somebody explain the steps I should take quickly please?
I have made backups of music collections, documents etc. I also have a disk with drivers on it, (PC was originally a 'TIME PC package). Im running XP home and thats what Im reinstalling.
Do I click format in the OS itself? Or should I do this in the BIOS? (Or do I just put XP home disk in and let it do its stuff? - Will this TOTALLY wipe all disk on the hard disk?
Soz for all the questions! - What are the basic steps I should take?
Any help much appreciated!!!!
