Hi i bought a laptop off ebay and its very very slow.
After running norton i found over 120 virus etc, it has spam and all kinds of junk i just dont want. Basically i want to make it brand new by reformatting but have never done this. On my PC i have disks that i put into my c drive and it reformats it for me. For the laptop i only have the Windows XP disk that installs windows XP.
Can anybody help me out as it takes about 5 minutes just to start up my laptop and i cant take this anymore.
How do i solve this and is there a way to wipe everything away and just start fresh?
Thanks
