How to Wipe Clean & Restart Windows XP
Wiping your computer's hard drive clean and starting over with a fresh installation of Windows XP is a drastic step, but one that might be necessary if your computer becomes infected with a virus or Trojan which you are unable to remove. Reinstalling Windows XP may require using the original product disk. Plan on spending around 45 minutes performing this task.
