Over the past few weeks, I have found my computer running slower, and slower. I wasn't too sure why, until about a week ago - when I download some free removal software, and virus scanners. A lot of spyware/trojans and such had attached themselves to my OS. I have removed almost all of them, but I am afraid that I will never get rid of them all. So, I have decided to just start over clean and fresh, by reformatting.
But....
I don't have the current version of windows disk, that I am running (I have an older MSXPPRO disk, with me), and no bootdisk. I have tried restarting my computer with the older MS XP PRO disk in the drive, and rebooting via disk drive (Not sure if i did it write or not.) And I can't simply just right-click on the haddrive, and format for more obvious reasons.. .. I seem to be stuck! Any suggestions? All the tutorials/guides that i've read, either end with me needing a Windows install disk (Which, mine is different version? older? bah) or, with a boot disk.
Any help / suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
