476312 2006-08-06 01:16:00 Just wondering if there is anything special I have to do to reformat a laptop or do I just do as I usually would with a desktop (put XP cd in, boot from it, reformat the drive and then reinstall XP on the formatted drive). The laptop came with a recovery cd, what exactly is on that cd and do I need to use it??

LOVING this auckland weather .......

Thanks

The "Recovery CD" usually contains all the drivers, and the bundled software and utilities programs. It should reinstate you laptop to it's 'original' state when you first launched it.
