Guide to Re-Formatting Your Computer
As you use your personal computer, it can gradually slow down due to reduced storage and potential spyware and viruses. If these issues persist, re-formatting might be necessary.
Steps to Re-Format Using Windows XP
1. Prepare to Boot from CD-ROM
Begin by configuring your computer to boot from the CD-ROM. Access the BIOS by pressing `Delete` during startup on most motherboards. Navigate to the boot sequence settings and set the CD-ROM as the first boot device. Insert your Windows XP CD and restart your computer.
2. Back Up Important Files
Before formatting, back up essential files like music and documents to an external hard drive or a CD, as the formatting process will erase all data from the hard drive.
3. Start the Re-Format Process
Once your computer restarts, the Microsoft menu will appear. Here, you can proceed with installation. Avoid installing Windows alongside your existing system; choose the format option instead. Windows XP allows you to select between a quick format and a regular format. For a 120GB drive, a quick format takes about 10 minutes, while a regular format can take up to an hour. Opt for the quick format for efficiency.
4. Install Windows
After formatting, follow the installation prompts to reinstall Windows XP. This process will restore your computer to its original speed, making it as fast as when you first bought it.
By following these steps, you can effectively refresh and rejuvenate your computer's performance.
