If you use your computer very often, the Windows Operation System such as Windows 2000/XP would become slow after half a year. Because there are so many garbage files, trashy registered information in your System, or when your computer was destroyed by virus if you can't clear the virus and can't restore the system, you needed to reinstall your Windows Operation System.

Usually, when we install the Windows Operation System, we used to format the harddisk. Someone formated the entire harddisk, or formated one subarea of the harddisk. From now on, if your system version is after Windows98, you needn't to format the harddisk any more!

1. Insert the Windows System Operation Installation CD to the CD-ROM.
2. "Welcome to Microsoft Windows XP" installation menu appeared. Click "Install Windows XP".
3. On the Installation Type options, don't choose "Upgrade", you should chosse "New Installation (Advanced)". Such as the cutline below:

4. After input the Product key, click "Next" for one time, on the "Setup Options", click "Advanced Options". At "To this folder on my hard drive:", dont't follow the default folder such as "\Windows". You must input another folder name that not in your root directory of system subarea, for example, I inputed "\Winauciou".
At "I want to choose the install drive letter and partition during Setup", please choose it. If not, Your system will be installed in another subarea. Such as the cutline below:

5. After your completion, delete the former system folder, such as "C:\WINDOWS".
6. On the desktop, click with right button at "my computer→Properties→Advance→Startup and Recovery→Settings", don't choose "Time to display list of operation systems". You will not see the double-startup list.

There are 2 important steps: Step 3 and Step 4. If not so, you can't delete the former system folder in Step 5.
