Hello every,
Happy Memorial day for the ones in the U.S.I have a question, my mom was given a PC laptop, a Dell C500 I think it is, with windows Vista. I am a mac guy, and I also have a PC laptop myself. But, How do I start this PC from scratch? I mean, erasing all preferences, erasing all possible virus or sypware, all passwords, so that the PC is as if it was off the shelf?
Do I need the operating system CD? because I dont' think we have that... the person lost it.
Thanks

yep you need to format the drive and reinstall Windows...
(this is nothing to do with zapping PRAM on Mac)

ahh- format the drive and reinstall-- cool I will do!
thanks for the tips... I gotta see if I can get them to find the disks now!!

btw, do not install vista,
if you have a chance get xp, its way better for programmer and designer, less ressource hog from the system.

Yes- someone told me that there was a demand for Microsoft to go back to XP because Vista wasn't as good.
