I'm good with more of the everyday-novice things with computers, killing spyware and viruses, fixing windows problems, installing cards and other stuff, but I haven't formatted a computer yet. The family computer here hasn't been touched by me in about 2 years, and the 1.6GHz system is so bogged down with crap it makes my 650 PIII look like a speedster.
So yeah, I guess I need a mini-guide to formatting a computer, partitioning a hard drive (I'd like to install Linux on there, but thats for another thread), and re-installing Windows. What programs should I use? And what is "fdisk" ? Thanks TFP
