ok i got my new comp im on it right now and yes its sexy so i got my old comp and i wanna reformat it its got xp so how i do dat?

[burgerbutt66]

if you mean completely wipe the computer clean?
Easyst way is to put in the xp disk and select repair/reinstall and it will show the folders and should have a current one with blank mb used out of blank mb and u just erase it, self explanatory once u get there.

[Jeff]

Why do you want xp? vista is way better. People are just retards if they think xp is better.

[LcT|chipmunk]

it can only run xp its not good enough for vista my old comp xp new comp is vista

[burgerbutt66]

Do as i said for factory everything

[LcT|chipmunk]

i dont see that option

[Jeff]

Oh...i thought you wanted to downgrade vista to xp. To reformat the xp comp, just stick in a xp retail disk or a recovery disk form your manufacturer. Pretty simple from there. For a recovery disk, it may be different from a retail xp disk.

hit me up on Xfire i got a copy of windows xp corp self install you just have to boot from it and it dose the rest i will send it to ya its a iso just need to burn it !

Edit: make sure there is nothing on that pc you want this copy of Xp is set to delete all files and format over it 5 times befor install so all data is gone and not recoverable also make sure you have the drivers downloaded for your pc and burned to a cd if you don't you could be up Sh!t creek with out a paddle  >< after installing windows XP Pro Corp download and install windows service pack 3 then check for updates.

To jeff:

yes windows vista is way better then XP i have been using it for about 3 weeks now everything seems to work better then it did with XP it seems to run smoother

* SleePy wonders if briggs is feeling ok

I actually like windows 2008 server better, its way faster than vista. So what if I have to do things to get it to work a little more like the desktop version.
But I still want to stick with my mac and linux ;)

so sence the topic when on to windows vista . i just installed windows vista ultimate X64 Running on a AMD Phenom X4 9850 Quad Core Processor - Black Edition, Unlocked 2.50GHz, 4MB Cache, 2000MHz (4000 MT/s) FSB, With 8GB's  DDRCorsair XMS2 DHX Dual Channel PC6400 DDR2 800MHz Memory (4 x 2048MB) and the Nvida 8800 GTS XXX running SLI.

all i have to say for all the haters of vista you are so wrong about it this kicks the rear of any XP X86/X64 OS there is !

[Jeff]

Why did you go with amd over intel for your quad. Intel is bar far cheaper. I just got a q6600 2.4 quad for 190 cad (oem) and you could probably get it for like 20-30 cheaper in the states. I got it at tigerdirect retail store here. Cheapest i saw on new egg was 236 at tigerdirect.ca. Although i have read that the q6600 2.4 is much faster than the Phenom X4 9850 @ 2.5.
