formatting laptops can be tricky because some have drivers and programs essential to having the laptop run at its best that windows xp dosent come with. make sure u back up what u need on a flash drive and if you dont know what you need....try to find out.

There is a way to reinstall windows without formatting but you should make a backup of the files anyway, just in case. its not the ASR either (automated system recovery) i think you press F6 or something to do it...i dont remember
