hello!

i have a question concerning the deletion of a hdd and Windows XP.

im planning on deleting my entire hdd with a program called O&O SafeErase 3, and then installing a new OEM. Should I delete the current OEM properly or just let O&O do the job with a its "full deletion" function?

I checked the manual, but i dint find anything concerning this issue of mine...

thx guys!

EDIT: Put XP CD in CD tray, reboot, go to bios, select boot option #1 as CD drive, voila, follow on-scren steps.

right, thx guys!

oh, if if that sounds stupid, but do i need to delete all my programs and such before reformat or is that done automatically during reformat?

Format will wipe out all data on the disk, more so then any unistalling could do.
