I've had my computer for about nine months, and it has just gotten worn down. Corrupted/bad files, bad shortcuts, and basically just a bunch of clutter. I wanted to totally reinstall XP... getting rid of all my old files, and starting fresh. I have everything backed up, and I can boot from my XP disk. I just need to know the rest. Thanks.
