I need to reinstall Windows XP SP3 in this PC to repartition my HD and to eliminate anomalies which seem beyond repair.
Having found the restoring system utility disabled (wonder who/what did it), formating and reinstalling is the way to go.
Prior making my HD flat I will have all data, duly saved in my back up disk.
Since my intention is to end with a properly trimmed version (call it minimalist) with just the necessary functions for my needs I am asking about suggestions around this. How to eliminate the unnecessary?
Sorry for being imprecise. My knowledge is limited on all this. Many unconnected fragments here and there.
Concrete suggestions appreciated!
