I could use some help, I have recieved a used comp. and I
want to clean it out and start it out fresh.
unfortunately the disks that i got with it are windows xp
home, and xp pro with plus is installed on the comp. I
honestly am not sure how to clean out this comp. I will
welcome any and all suggestions. I was able to clean out
my moms used comp by inserting the disks that came with
her comp. But like I said im just not that fortunate.
Thanks in advance for the help.
 
First of all do you have the Product Key for this XP??
You will need it to activate XP or it will quit functioning after a few weeks.
If you do then enter the BIOS of your system and set the CD as the first boot
device
Restart with the XP CD in place and the installation should begin.
Since you cannot go back from Pro to XP you need to format the drive during the
install.
