Reinstalling windows xp
I have been having some problems with my computer with regards to the registry and spyware and other stuff. I would like to back up important documents, pictures, videos, music, and other files on my hard drive onto my ipod (using it as a storage device) and then reinstall windows xp making the computer as if I just got it from dell again brand new with only the original installed software on it. How do I go about doing this? If I do it, will I have to reinstall the software that came on the computer? Thanks very much for your help!

Instructions for the procedure can be found here. Formatting the C:\ partition will remove all information presently on it, so you will have to reinstall your applications after the operating sytem and drivers are installed.
