I am thinking i would like to format my drive and reinstall XP pro but ive never done that
I have a dell E521 and it came with an OEM reinstall disc
Can someone tell me if it will have all the hardware drivers that the dell needs (if i understand right dell has some required stuff for their proprietary hardware)
And also if i can tweak the os and get rid of all the extra shit on it that comes from dell that i dont need or do i need to get a retail version of XP


All this is really not necessary my system seems to run ok i just have alot of crap on it that i dont need some i cant seem to get rid of and some i just dont even know what it is its just there so i cant delete it because im not sure if the dell might be dependent on it

I just would like to start fresh with just the os WoW and the multiboxing software i use and firefox the rest i really could care less about and would like it gone I get alot of start up processes running like right now there are 43 processes running and i know what like 5 of them are and when i kill them they come right back without a restart just right back most of them in less than 10 seconds
