getting rid of the spywar that windows cant get rid of… plus clean up a lot of junk i dont use anymore… question though… i have 2 hds on here… so if i just put everything i want to save on on hd and reformat the other i wont lose anything right? plus i have old programs and i dont know if i still have the cds or not… moving the programs folder that i want to save will work right? ---

might have to mvoe some reg files for the programs to work. id say just burn a couple cds with the stuff you want and format both disks. itll definitely pay off in the end ---
