back up all your data first...\n\ninsert your windows cd into your drive, reboot your pc and make sure you bios is set to boot from cd.\n\ngo through the questions and answer them.\n\nin about an hour your done...\n\nunless you have hardware that the windows cd doesnt contain drivers for, then you have to install those too... you should have these drivers but if not dont despair, you should be able to get them back.

See if the computer is booting from windows installation cd.\nFirst it will check your hardware. Then on the first screen it will ask you if you want a new install or repair. Choose New Install. Press Enter. On the next screen press F8. On the third screen you will see all disk partitions. Press D to delete after choosing a partition to delete it. Delete all partitions if you want to (This process is called repartitioning, done prior to formatting) Once you get a single unpartitioned space, press C to create, give space in MB for the size of partition. Create partitions in unpartitioned space. After that by default uppermost partition is selected by default. Press Enter to start installation. At this point you will be asked to choose type of partition. Choose NTFS and proceed.\nhttp://yanswers.blogspot.com/2006/10/windows-reinstallation.html

The Windows CD will enable you to reinstall Windows only, it will not replace your data files or other non-Window program files. You will need additional CDs or downloaded software for such. Think of the CD like a file cabinet that is empty, that is basically what you will have. \n\nIf you do not have any back up of your hard drive you will then need to start from scratch to fill the filing cabinet back up. Of note, the Windows CD does not include an antivirus program or updates to their software, I would suggest you have these installed first before proceeding elsewhere on the Internet. \nGood Luck. \n\nInstall a Hard Drive (instructions + pics)\nhttp://www.helpwithpcs.com/upgrading/install-hard-drive.htm\nAddl.

You need the Windows Backup Set (Microsoft Corporation)

Put your Windows CD (or recovery disk) into your computer and boot it up.  It should automatically start the Windows install.  After you have done the F8 to agree to the license, you will be given an option to format and partition your hard drive if you want before it reinstalls Windows.  Once you have made your choice, simple let the install complete.

If you have an installation disk for Windows, you should be able to format your computer and make a fresh installation of Windows in place of your existing one.\n\nThis will delete all your settings and current files, and will be replaced with an original copy of Windows. So you should backup all your files onto a CD before you proceed.\n\nYou can't reverse this process, but it will do the job, and will give you a clean install of Windows to work with.\n\nIf you have a Dell or other branded computer, it may have a utility which can clean reinstall Windows for you.

Ask your system administrator if the computer is shared, if its yours, you should have an administrator account, just backup everything and do a clean reinstall, sometimes this is a good choice, since it will also rid your computer of all the bad stuff its sure to have collected.

Don't need to do anything hard. Insert your Windows Installation CD-Rom in the Drive, boot your system from CD-ROM, then go on installing windows, then Select " Repair Windows ", that's all you need to do,, nothings gonna change ...

This is a problem I deal with on a regular basis, I do have more than 25 years experience maintaining and programming PC.s and a few years prior to that on other types of systems.\n\nWhile simply re-installing Windows would seem to be the certain way out - it really should be the choice of LAST RESORT, especially if you plan to do it yourself and are not particularly experienced at it (the full reasons are beyond the scope of the initial answer) but suffice to say - you'll likely will not do everything fully necessary for a masterful re-installation.  - it's not a matter of just letting the install disk do its own thing. Further, some hardware configurations still demand attention to order of driver installation, too. Then there's all that software you'd have to reinstall after that - and all that personal data you may lose if you don't first back it all up.\n\nLearning how to resolve your issues short of re-installing will really increase your confidence and help you to better understand PC.s - making you a much greater asset to any potential employer.\n\nThe number one problem I have encountered on troubled systems has been the existence of various types of malware, followed by unnecessary processes running in the background.\n\nStart by locating and installing two quality spyware removers that are free - 'Ad-Aware' (by Lavasoft, beware of sound alikes) and 'SpyBot Search and Destroy'. There currently is no single spyware product that is more than 93 or 94% effective, thus you should use these two highly rated apps - which are both currently free (but they do accept donations). Run Spybot first, then run Ad-Aware. Go ahead and tell the programs to fix any problems they find (on Ad-Aware, only worry about the 'critical' ones).\n\nBefore you run them do this first:\n Disable any anti-virus program you are running\n Go to My Computer and choose properties, then go to System Restore and DISABLE it, at least until you are done cleaning things up. This is because you may just reinfect yourself again and again if your last restore point has any malware in it. Windows locks all files in the restore system from any type of scanning - so this is important.\n\nWow - bet your system is feeling a good bit better already!\n\nNow locate stinger.exe using the Yahoo search and download and run it. It locates certain particular worms of special notoriety and effectively removes them.\n\nNow run your anti-virus.\n\nUnless you have some really perverse virus or worm resident, your system should be breathing much better now.\n\nFinally - there are many fine lists regarding the various programs that might be starting with your system on every reboot. When it comes to things like these, I am a minimalist - if it doesn't absolutely have to start with Windows, or is not integral to your everyday work - don't let it start at all. Search on Yahoo for 'start up  list windows' You'll find some very good articles and lists on this subject.\n\nFinally, update your spyware removers and run them at least once a week - or sooner if you suspect anything at all - and make a practice of defragging your drive at least once a month. Keeping your drive defragged not only helps speed your system, but also reduces stress on the mechanicals of your hard disks. The latter is actually the single greatest reason - besides ease of disaster recovery, a less stressed drive is less likely to fail - for defragging.\n\nHope this has been helpful

Get a copy of whatever version of Windows you are using and reinstall it. Make sure you format the disk to get a clean installation. Don't join the domain though (you probably couldn't anyway). This will give you your control back with one drawback. You won't have access to any network printers or drives, you wont have access to company email, and you won't get access to the internet.\n\nYou can now use the task manager all you want.\n\nHowever, if you did that at my company, you will get fired, without question.
