I'm about to give my old comuter to a niece. I want to clean out ALL
personal data and as I was having sporadic crashes in my old installation I
want to do a clean install.
I have both my original OEM Windows XP home Edition CD plus I have a Windows
XP Service Pack 2 CD that I ordered from Microsoft. Two Questions:
1. Can I do the clean install using only the Service Pack 2 CD using the
OEM product Key that is on my CoA Sticker from my original installation or do
I need to install the original Win XP first then to updates?
2. Do I need to format my 'C' drive and wil the Service pack 2 CD do this
for me or is it sufficient to just install to the C drive overwriting
existing files?
Thanks in anticipation
