It depends on the version of Windows you're reinstalling. I know you can do
a clean install of Windows inside Windows itself as of Vista, but not sure
about XP. In any case, your old Windows files will be backed up and will be
stored in a folder called windows.old, found on the root of the system
partition, for example c:\windows.old. This folder cannot be used to attempt
to boot to the old Windows since the boot record has been modified to load
the fresh copy. Hope this helps.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] friends,how do you uninstall and reinstall
windows without formatting?
Ok friends, let me explain this a bit.
i was told that I can uninstall and reinstall windows without reformatting
or formatting.
the reason why is that I am for some dumb reason I'm having trouble with
outlook express.
there's allot of disc activity when I open up outlook express. also when
you arrow up or down the activity gets worse. you also see outlook express
not responding.
and of course when you alt f 4 end program etc.
Can this truly be done without sighted help?
