When I say, "clean install" I meant I format Drive C first.
Don't you blow away any hidden partitions as well ?
Absolutely! This makes it completely forget it is a name brand computer and
makes it reliant upon reinstalls being from the Windows XP Home OEM CD. This
makes it no longer a proprietary computer. Any computer shop can easily do
reinstalls on it. Even the name brand authorized service centers can do
clean installs on clone computers or name brand computers that have been
made to run like a clone. This expands the number of computer shops that can
work on it to all of them.
