Hi: My Win.XP disc gives me the option of checking for incompatible drivers and programs and downloading replacements before it installs. It also gives you the option of new install or upgrading to keep your files & settings. It says new install wipes out all files but I don't know if it leaves any trash behind. Re-formatt & clean install seem the best to me.
