| ...a brand new computer? I have a older compaq desk top and am new to computing. I wish to delete the current programing to the point where this computer came out of it's box. Then reload my windows XP home addition and start fresh? How do I acomplish this. I do not wish to keep any old files or programs as these are why I want to delete all programing. I've tried deleting all I could then re install my windows disc, but the old files and such remain? |

|  Backup any essential files, boot from your Windows CD and format the destination drive where you wish to install Windows, once formatted, Windows will install automatically. |
