help w/cleaning up comp

[Becki]

I could use some help, I have recieved a used comp. and I
want to clean it out and start it out fresh.
unfortunately the disks that i got with it are windows xp
home, and xp pro with plus is installed on the comp. I
honestly am not sure how to clean out this comp. I will
welcome any and all suggestions. I was able to clean out
my moms used comp by inserting the disks that came with
her comp. But like I said im just not that fortunate.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi Becki,

If you want to erase everything on the hard disk and start fresh, then you
might like to perform a fresh install of Windows XP. The following knowledge
base article might help you:
