I apologize in advance if any of this doesn't make sense (due to my
ignorance) but I need some help. I presently have a computer I built in
2002 or 2003 (can't remember exactly) running XP Home. I have both all my
personal stuff (Office XP, internet stuff, etc.); but I also use it for
running loads of music software. I am planning on building a new box to be
used solely for music applications which I will transfer my music apps to.
My question is this. I would basically like to reinstall all my personal
stuff (with a clean install of the OS with SP2) back onto the original
computer, getting rid of a bunch of stuff I rarely use or don't need at
all.
My problem is that I don't know how to do this safely. I want to insure
that files aren't lost and that I don't need to get the Comcast tech back
here to get me back online with their cable service. I want to protect
the
integrity of all my MS Outlook data and any other personal data of that
sort. I do have hard drives available to handle any tem****ary transfer of
data, etc. but I just don't know the procedure. Any and all help would be
greatly appreciated. Perhaps just a suggestion as to a website I could
visit for guidance and/or any utility program suggestions. I thank anyone
in advance for any help in this matter.
Cheers
