Hi not sure if I'm in the right part of this site to ask questions? But here is my problem, ( Does anyone know of a safe way to clear out my computer without deleting files that I need to keep?) Sorry this maybe easy to some people but I'm new to P.C Thank's, john

backup all the files you need, usually my docs, on a cd or floppy, reformat the hard drive, install windows

Thanks for the info....but this P.C of mine has no cd or floppy, Anymore suggestions?? cheers from john.

If you don't have access to internal devices (floppy /cd) see if you can use a external backpack, or find someone who can install your drive in a different computer . The other option is to delete the files, but if your new I would seek out someone who has IT knowledge. You didn't say what your trying to do, or why, is the computer giving you problems?

A fresh install of Windows can't be done without erasing your files (unless you start creating wierd partitions and modding the bootloader; can be messy (experience)). However, you could backup the files that you want to keep by sending them to yourself using YouSendIt.
