The following tutorial will help you to reformat your Hard Drive and reinstall the Windows XP. We personally consult the brother of Keinne Ross Tripoli to give us tips for this tutorial. The number one reason why we are reformatting the Hard Drive just because of some viruses that infected and corrupted our files and programs inside. He said that before we reformat the Hard Drive we should delete or uninstall all the drivers that we don't necessarily used and make sure you have everything backed up your important files. According to him, anyone can reformat their own computer and taking their own risk. You will only need an important things when you reformat the Hard Drive.
