Hey

So, i've heard different ways of reformatting but I wanna do it properly, can anyone give me a quick tut on how to wipe my drive?

The one way I heard it was too have my xp disc then boot into it, then go from there?

But yahh, any help would be greatz.

pretty straight forward.

Backup EVERYTHING you need. Make sure you download all drivers you need to a flash before you begin.

Then, insert disc and boot to it. Follow prompts. If you're loading Raid drivers then hit F6 and follow the prompts, if not, then keep going. Delete the all partitions, and install.

I always opt for quick install because it's... well... quicker.

If you're going with a legit copy of Windows I'd suggest:

Microsoft Security Essentials
&
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware

Is that what you have?

+I use to have Mcafee, but i can't get my hands on a legal copy from family unless I buy it. Is it worth it?

Indeed.

However, I don't run a legit copy, it's slightly.... tweaked :roll:

I use those 2 when possible. MSE is catching a bunch of grief from paid AV manufacturers because it's so good people are starting to use it as their only AV.
