bearskin Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 hey guys...just curious...this pertains to WINME...if I copy my windows installation disk to my D drive can I run setup from D drive if i want to do a clean install ? do I need anything else? can I just put in my setup floppy, format C, and type in D:setup? this sounds too easy. any remarks from the eggsperts?

xxkbxx Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 It's about time for me to do a clean install - as soon as I get my external backup hard drive back from my brother Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bearskin Posted September 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 I think I wrote that wrong...I should have said I've done one reinstall in about 5 years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DucoNihilum Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 I have too much to reformat. Im almost afraid to reformat. I have so much software where the CD's could now be somewhere in southern africa by now, I dont think i would ever get all the software back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
