Default Re: Re instal Windows XP?

I just done this. Download the specific drivr for your PC. Uausly available from the manufacturers website under the support tab. You will need things like, Chipset/Processor, video, sound, modem (Wireless if it has that function, HDD and CD/DVD drive. Stick these on a CD, or memory stick before you re-build. You will also need to make sure that you have USB2 support if its a newish machine. Also make a not of the software yo uhave on your PC. If you have virus software, and you can find the key, then make a note of it. Other than that, its a case of what the greek said. Then if you want you will need to connect to the net to update windows with SP3, IE8, WMP11 and all the other updates if so required. I just done this on a neighbours PC and its amazing how much more spritley it is.
