uninstalling and reinstalling XP Home

[Jim Szymanski]

I would like to remove and reinstall XP Home Edition on my Dell Inspiron
8100 to remove unnecessary and corrupted files/programs. I have been
experiencing dll issues among other problems that have prevented me from
uninstalling software that is redundant eg. firewalls, anti-virus software,
outdated programs, etc. How would I go about doing this?

Below is the link to a Microsoft Knowledgebase article detailing how to do
this. At the bottom are the instructions on how to perform a clean install
of Windows XP:

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.)
