How to Uninstall OS....by Maxnjub, Esq.

[maxcell]

I have a lead on a fast Athlon 64 x2 system very cheap, but it comes with Windows Pissta Premium installed.

Could someone please give me step by step instructions on removing the os on a new pc and installing Windows XP (which I have yet to buy a disk of as well)

Time is of the essence!

Gracias

PS It is a Gateway so I am happy to wipe the hard drive of the Gateway extras they will have on there as well.

Open a DOS command box.

format c:

Put in your XP disc, restart, go into the BIOS with delete (usually).

Switch your device startup order to put the CD drive first.

Install away.

Go back and reset the startup order to floppy->HDD->CD after you're done.
