Restoring Original Settings

[Guest]

How do I go back to the way my system was when I first purchased it? I don't
want to maintain any old folders, files, applications, or settings. Thank You
so much!

Simply boot from the WinXP installation CD. You'll be offered the
opportunity to delete, create, and format partitions as part of the
installation process. (You may need to re-arrange the order of boot
devices in the PC's BIOS to boot from the CD.)
