Hello,
My xp pro installation is really bloated and unreliable, and I want to reinstall it.
I have a legitimate copy of XP Pro, and a sony laptop with no recovery disk and no drivers available on the web(believe me I've looked!)
If I backup my windows folder and "documents and settings" folder onto another hard drive,and do "format c: and then reinstall, will I be able to find all the drivers for graphics etc??
or should i try an in-place reinstall (does that keep the current drivers installed?
What about re-activation???
thanks guys
