How do I have a wipe everything from laptop without reinstalling xp?
Well, my dad has given me a laptop which he got from his old job (it was in the leaving clause) and it is full of loads and loads of junk. I want to completely wipe it but I do not have the xp pro cd disk to do a fresh install. How do I do this?
Laptop is Lenovo ThinkPad T60 running xp pro. Cheers

Well basically go into the program manager and Uninstall everything, make sure to select any options to delete the program settings etc. After doing that find a registry cleaner to get rid of anything the uninstall may have left behind. Then you may want to just go through the hard drive looking for files/folders that don't relate directly to the OS. Program files, documents and settings and windows folder you have to be careful deleting stuff in.
