Very basic info requested
No, basic, not Basic!
This is something I should have found out years ago but I've never got round to asking.
1. How do I do a clean re-instal of Windows? Is it a case of starting the machine in DOS and then doing a C:Windows\delete to get rid of the old version, or is it more complicated than that? Having had the machine running for a year errors are starting to creep in and I think that a fresh start with Windows would be a good idea.
2. How do I partition the hard disk? That way I could keep Windows on the C drive and put programs and document files in separate partitions which I think is good practice. (And make it easier to uninstall and reinstall Windows by re-formatting the C drive.)
I'm running Windows ME on a 2GHz Athlon machine with 512mB RAM, a 60 GB main hard drive and a 3 GB secondary hard drive. (Funny, that hard drive seemed really big when I got it a year ago!)
With two hard drives (C,D), DVD (E), CDRW (F), Zip Drive (G) and a digital camera (H when it's plugged in), I'm practically half way through the alphabet already, I think I might run out of letters!
