Answer 3

BEFORE you do this, important !!! theres a folder on your hard drive called DRIVERS

Copy the content onto a CD or USB pen first, or you may be stuck afterward

Pop in the CD, restart PC, press F12 (I think) for the boot menu, choose CD as your boot device and when you see message 'Pess any key ...'.. press any key and follow the instructions

Why you need to reinstall ? most Windows problems are fixable, do not take advice like 'No way, reformat' without knowing what you really have to do..

Answer 4

Just put the CD labeled "Windows XP" and then restart the computer. The CD will load and will give you the option to install.

Answer 5

first of all you need the xp cd. then put it in the cd drive , then just follow the on screen directions.

Maybe this will help.

Answer 6

First an most important -

Back uo all those important songs, photos and other documents to memory stick or disk or an external hard drive.

If you have an external hard drive remove it , and any other memory storage devices.

Is it to be a format and fresh install?
