[en] How to reinstall a computer

To reinstall a computer:

1. Obtain a Windows CD, and make sure you have the licens key.
2. Put the CD in the drive and reboot the computer.
3. If the computer asks you to press a key, then do that, and it will the boot from the CD.
4. If the computer does not do this, you have to enter the BIOS to change some stuff.
   
• If you don't know what you are doing, then stop here! If there is a place where you have to know what you are doing, it's in the BIOS!! You can make serious damage there!! Call someone who knows stuff about computers, and ask.
  
• If you do know what to do, then make the computer boot from the CD as first device, save the changes, and reboot the computer.
5. The installation process will now start, and it may well take a while.
6. Choos to make a new installation of Windows.
   
7. When you get to the point, where you choose where to install Windows, and how, then choose the first drive (most often the correct choice), and choose to format it using NTFS, and choose the 'quick' option.
8. Now its straight forward :-) Do as the computer asks you to.
