i think a couple of hours playing some games on it just to make sure it works properly

 

[G~MAN]

just one more question lol

when you said i format and reinstall windows does that mean i will have to back up all my stuff before i start the upgrades??

or will it all still be on the hardrive still and just get it from local disk (C: ) after i install windows again...

and with itunes i can do this without losing my songs

AND Ben ! ! you couldnt charge me could u il just by you lunch at school hehe

 

[Me__2001]

you'll need to backup all of your important files your music folder can be copied onto a DVD, then you'll have to format and reinstall windows

 

[G~MAN]

okie dokie

what do you mean by format it though :s

 

[Me__2001]

you wipe the hard drive of all of its data and start again, so when you install windows its like installing onto a new hard drive

 

[G~MAN]

alrighty! lol and how easy is it to wipe the hardrive ? :s

 

[Me__2001]

its pretty easy, i'll try and find you a guide
