how do i do a disk clean and reinstall. I have no cds .
what software do i need/download.
That's good!
So are you going to keep it even though it did not come with any cds?
Did your seller promise you CDs? If yes, I would complain right away.
If you decide to keep your machine, I suggest you replace its PRAM

rather than wait til later and save potential headaches.
Hope you got rid of the dust too.
