My GF has a older computer with XP and a pentium 4 processor, so not all that old I guess. I'm looking to wipe out the hard drive but keep the operating system intact. The computer is a mess so I'd imagine I'd have to get into that basic mode at startup with only essentials running. I'm really not sure where to start with XP. I've done several computers by just putting in a new hard drive and installing Windows 98. I have a copy of that with the key, or should I say I have it with the key, not really a "copy". If it's too much of a pain to save XP I might as well just try to wipe it clean. I'm more familiar with 98 and can do a lot more manually with it. I had it down to under a half hour to get 98 and Office professional back up and running from a total harddrive wipe.
So, any suggestions on what to do with it? Where to start?
