What is not new about it now?

It may fix some things, but it may break others.

Maybe if you tell us what you hope to change, maybe we can offer some
suggestions.

BTW how much free space do you have on your hard drive now?

Maybe. Depends on how you reinstall it (there are a few possible choices)
and a bit on what changes you've made to the system since it was new.
 
Yes if you use the format method for installation. Remember that this will only install the XP OS and nothing else. If you have Office or CD writing hardware from the computer manufacturer then unless you have the disks all such programs will be lost. I often do a complete install to refresh my system as I don't have any vital stuff and have saved all the programs that don't come in XP like Spybot Search and Destroy to disk. So a complete new install takes me only about 1 hr. Good luck.
