Ok well i need to format my computer and reinstall Windows XP ( I dont have the Disk ;) )
So im wondering can i just do it like this, Download a version of windows.
Install it so it will appear on a menu as kind of a dual boot i belive is what you call it (when you start up your computer it asks you to choose which OS you wish to use)
Just wondering could i just install a new version of windows and delete the old one afterwards ?
Answer of your last question, u can do that, but i wont suggest it.Quote:

Just make a recovery cd of all your wanted files u want to keep.
Download a windows version u like,
Make a cd of your windows version.
Turn the cd into your pc, restart your computer - boot from cd.
Format ur hd , and install ;)
Just as resa said. But burn as an image as most download versions require that.
What i normally do.
1) Partition Magic to format HD
2) Boot from CD and install windows
Anyway i can do this without a DVD burning drive or burnining a DVD?
Google "XP Recovery Disc" Burn to disc and boot from it. There ya go.
^ Problem is :( I Cant burn discs noooess :p
Well
you NEED to use a CD,
Do you have a floppy drive?
If u do, get a floppy and use that/
Nope no floppy drive xD
But is it posible to install 2 OS's (like a dual boot were it asks you which one you want to use at the start) and delete one and all the stuff realted to it ?
