I bought my wife an emachine model # w3629 for Christmas, and I can not find one single thing I like about Vista or any of the dozens of junk trial edition programs and games that were preinstalled on this machine. So I purchased a full windows XP Media Cnter edition, sp2b to install on her computer. I know enough about computers to get me in trouble, but some of the acronyms I don't understand, and don't have time to research. I am ready to install this OS, but after doing a little research I found that some forums talk about backup SATA drives and all kinds of crap. Do I need all of this stuff?
What I want to do is:
Erase Vista entirely
remove all partitions on the hard drive
Install XP and be happy.
How do I do this?
Please explain in layman's terms
