Understand
that after a while your computer will start to slow down, freeze and have
difficulty shutting down correctly. These symptoms are perfectly normal for
Microsoft Windows operating systems that should get a clean, fresh start. But
sometimes manufacturers do not include a copy of the operating system on a
disk. In order to save you money, when purchasing your computer and ultimately
saving them money too.
1)Access
the copy of the operating system on the hard drive. If manufacturers do not
supply a Windows XP CD with the purchase of your new computer, they have most
definitely stored a copy in your hard drive for later use. You can easily
access this copy of the CD on your hard drive to completely reinstall or format
partitions on your computer.
2)Back
up your personal data including photos, pictures, documents, favorites,
passwords and settings to CD/DVD/USB.
3)Make
sure you have your Windows product key/serial number. This could be located on
the computer itself, or in the original packaging it was supplied with. If you
do not have one, look in the registry or contact your manufacturer immediately
for more support regarding the issue.
4)Click
on My Computer then C: WINDOWS then i386(Sometimes C:\i386). This is the part
where a lot of people get confused. They realise that a copy of their Windows
XP CD is here, but they look for the wrong files. Most people will try to find
a file named "Setup", "Install", or "Windows".
The file you are looking for is called "winnt32.exe".
5)Open
this application and proceed with the instructions given. It will lead you
through 5 simple phases that will wipe out your computer and reinstall the
operating system.
6)Get
your product key ready to enter it. Make sure you agree with the terms that
should be provided when using the winnt32.exe application.
8)Enter the product key and save it and restart your PC that's it....
ThanQ...
