    whats wrong with just reformatting? it would save you hell of a lotta time and effort. if you dont have an extra hard drive for your personal music etc, get one, but all i say is ---- all that hard stuff and reformat.

    bad plan. Windows Updates mostly has a non-working one, or out-dated one... where I work, none of us EVER get driver updates from there. the drivers you get from the mfg's website, or on driverguide.com, is way better than Windows Updates have...

    Well, john, if you don't have the disc, you can't reformat, can you? ;)

    Windows updates worked fine for me when I reformatted. I didn't have any driver cd's as it was a brand name PC, but windows recognised most of the parts and got the right drivers.
