How to reinstall Windows like pro

Did you upgrade from Xp to Vista first ?

First, you will want to BACKUP ALL of your programs.

Since you did not upgrade to VISTA, you will LOOSE all of your programs when you upgrade to Windows 7, so be sure to backup all of your programs and files.

If you wish, you can use an external hard drive and a program called WINDOWS EASY TRANSFER to make this task easier.

See the link below for this FREE program.

Now, for the fun part! Insert the Windows 7 disc into the computer and start or restart the computer.

Follow the onscreen instructions to completely install Windows 7.

You will now need to reinstall each of your programs.

If you used Windows Easy Transfer, you can use the list of programs that it prints out to be certain that you reinstall all of your programs.

Hope this helps.

For a full Windows reinstall, you do need a disk. You can do a full system restore though without too much hassle though. Here's a guide on how to do that (if you're running XP, if not just Google your OS and how to restore it): http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306084.

If you have a restore CD then you can reinstall Windows.
If you have a Windows installation CD then you can use this to reinstall Windows.
Reinstalling Windows will wipe your data from the hard disk.

Hi and welcome to Fixya..

Reinstalling Windows XP on an Acer Aspire 3000 is fairly straightforward. You may need to reinstall Windows XP due to hardware failure, a virus infection, major hardware changes or a hard drive upgrade. Whatever the reason, you can do the reinstall yourself at home. The reinstall will take anywhere from 1 1/2 to 3 hours, depending on the size of your hard drive. Be aware that reinstalling Windows XP will format your hard drive, getting rid of all data on, so you'll want to back it all up on a media device.

• Step 1

Back up all data on your computer before reinstalling.

Step 2 Insert the Windows XP disk and restart your computer.

Step 3 Press any key when prompted to begin running the disk.

Step 4 Press F8 to agree to the terms of service.

Step 5 Choose the partition you want to reinstall Windows XP on. This is usually "C:" for most users.

Step 6 Choose the type of format. You can choose either "Quick" or "Full" for NTFS systems. A quick format only takes a few minutes less than the full format.

Step 7 Wait for the format to complete. The Windows XP installation wizard will begin. You will be asked to choose your time zone, computer name, and to input any network information. Otherwise, the reinstall will run by itself.

I hope this helps
