Question on formatting a computer

[AceJay]

AH WHAT.

Dude no, you're gonna fuck up your computer.

Backup data, save stuff, reformat, reinstall stuff, TURN OFF UAC AND AUTOMATIC BACKUP.

Emphasis on the first 4 things.

Find your OS disc.

Nah, he doesn't want to format his new notebook, but his old one, and there's no stuff to backup.

I don't need anything in my old laptop so no need to save.

But tell me, do you want to reinstall XP on the old notebook? If so, there WILL be a screen where you have to choose a partition to install Windows. Press the key to delete the partition (for us Germans it's the "L" key I think (L -> Löschen: delete, erase)), then choose it, and take the "Format with NTFS file system" option.

Yea I want to reinstall XP on old notebook. I do get that screen, gives me 2 options but one cant be touched or something

Hmm.. I would test it on my other PC for you, but since I don't have an english copy of Windows XP, I can't really help you with the texts and keys to press.

Well, what are the two options?

I don't rember offhand, I'd have to do the actual reformat to check
