- download and burn to cd >>>
powermax-4.09.iso
3 have a copy of windows w/ valid serial key
- also have discs for any other programs you will need to reinstall (ms office, virus protection, etc...)
4 dowload and run win driver expert ( backs up all your drivers)

- save the backup of the drivers to a cd or flashdrive
- i suggest you save the actual program to the flashdrive or cd as well
AFTER you have done all that:
insert the powermax cd into the laptop or cpu and boot it up. Run powermax (you are formatting the main drive)
insert your windows cd and reboot cpu (install windows)
reinstall your drivers
reinstall your applications and virus software
- remember DONT go online to do updates until you installed the virus scan software and updated the virus definitions ( u dont want to have to do this all over again because of a virus, lol)
