Vista - Reformat

11-15-2007

How would I reformat with vista? I am not sure if it would let me with new
security. Once i reinstall would it tell that my copy has already been
validated, or would it want me to validate again and see there is already
another (mine from before reformat) . Then it might not let me use it after
the reinstall. How would it work? If I can reinstall vista, then how would i
do that?

thanks

This is after you have reinstalled Vista. The activation wizard will provide
you the information for calling your activation center depending on which
part of the world you live.

Put vista DVD in the CD/DVD Drive, set the bios to boot from CD/DVD Drive;
reboot.

Follow instructions on disk to delete existing vista partition, format the
C Drive, and install.
