Uninstalling WinMe and installing WinXP

cschmidt · 08-26-2004, 07:41 PM

I'd like to erase EVERYTHING from my computer because it's giving me so many errors when I turn it on....it's almost always some new pop up screen with something different...dll, not found, can't open Explorer, etc....

I don't know if it's because of WinME but it's driving me crazy and I figured that maybe if I take everything out and install a new operating system, maybe it'll work better.

I would like to know how I can go about in doing that, though.
Can someone enlighten me? :-|

Thanks a lot,
CS

all you need to do is buy a windows xp oem cd.
boot from the cd rom,and follow the onscreen instruction.windows xp will format the drive itself for you when you are installing it the first time.make sure u don't buy an upgrade cd.
