Uh, how do I reformat my pc?
Yeah apparently my opperating system hates me (Windows XP home) and I need to reformat. What exactly is the process and what precautions should I take? i.e. saving files somewhere?

Is your hard drive partitioned into smaller drives? If it is move all your personal files to the other partitions.
Windows Reinstall: WinXP Home.  Cricket

It's not partitioned at all... I have a single 250 gig hard drive. So you're telling me I could put some files like... off to the side and get rid of the rest and still keep those files??

If you have a CD-Burner or even better, a DVD-Burner, just burn whatever you want or is important that you need and reformat your PC. That is, if you have the WinXP CD, of course.
