summer_skinHas anyone ever reformatted their own computer? Can anyone lead me to an easy walk through on how to do it? I have a general idea but I'm getting a little freaked out by some things.
I have my XP disc and I'm pretty sure my drivers disc, I'm taking note of all the add ons I have and I'm working on backing up everything onto my external right now. I'm pretty sure I can do this. I think.
My computer's just not running as spryly as it once did, especially when I make caps. I have issues with the quality of them now, not to mention the delays I have when loading things, even Firefox, so I have to try something to make things run a little smoother now.
I could take it to my tech guy but he takes forever. He'd tell it me would only take the weekend and then keep it until Tuesday or Wednesday. So I guess I'll try it on my own and if I fuck up I'll take it to him. That'll be good enough, right?
So, anyone ever done it and could offer me some guidance through it?
