| 1222451 | 2011-08-11 04:27:00 | I want to clean out the original OS from a computer but don't have the original disc. What do I do? Easy step by step instructions please. I do have another OS disc I want to install but need to know all the other 'stuff' is gone! Most programmes and apps have been uninstalled already. Thanks. Have searched here but couldn't find exactly what I wanted. |

| 1222453 | 2011-08-11 04:58:00 | Just make sure you have all the drivers that you need handy and the licence key and that it matches the disc you have | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1222454 | 2011-08-11 11:01:00 | You will need the licence key matching the disc you choose to install with. | sahilcc7 (15483) | ||

| 1222458 | 2011-08-12 09:05:00 | Thanks for help everyone. The computer has gone to a new home to be set upon and scavenged for useful parts. The owner was made an offer she could not refuse. Pity - I was looking forward to having a go at fixing it myself. | katharinem (3459) | ||
