    Default A Video Tutorial On How To Format Your Computer And Re-Install WIndows Xp

    This is a video tutorial that gives you step-by-step instructions on how to format (delete everything) and re-install windows xp on your computer. You will need a genuine copy of windows xp on hand, a genuine windows xp serial number, and your computer will need to have the bios set to boot from cd-rom, which most computers are already set up this way anyway. This video is not mine.

    Make sure you have all your drivers available too.

    Windows XP is great but it won't install all your device drivers on a clean install.

    Looking for drivers has to be one of the biggest pains in the *** so it would be prudent to backup all your drivers before carrying out a clean install.

    You can use a free program called DriverMax to backup your drivers.
