Failure to reinstall leads to a
system that runs very slowly (if at all).
Tips for reinstalling
- Know exactly what every piece of hardware you have is
- Get the latest drivers for everything (if they don't work use old drivers - especially on NT)
- Make sure you have plenty of coffee
- Backup every last piece of data
- Memorise (or write down) all your usernames and passwords
- Make a copy of your DUN settings
