Dont have any USB devices plugged in when you are doing it though, can confuse it sometimes. | |

Yeah you sound good to go then James, just get the Windows 7 disk in and boot from it at start up. You can then quick format the hard disk by following the prompts. | |

By everything backed up do you mean personal data files? I have that done already to a USB mounted external HDD. The rest of the data I couldn't give a toss about tbh | |

Not difficult at all, hardest part is making sure you've got everything backed up. | |

Yeah I want to wipe and start again if that's possible not just lay a new skin on an existing problem. So is that difficult then?? | |

That's what I was thinking John but I didn't want to sound drastic. I know nothing of computers you see. | |

Wiping definitely sounds advisable, upgrade to windows 7 would be a good reason to do it. | |
