Hello,
Im new here and have a question. I wanted to backup my computer and reinstall windows xp as an attempt to wipe my computer clean of all the clutter and build up of unwanted files rather than going in a deleting each unwanted file. I have ton of programs like most users, but I dont have the installation discs. Is there an easy way to back up the installation files for these programs (where do i even find them) I own a DVD burner and a couple external drives, so I could I just move the files over to those drives?
Also since I have a windows XP disc that does not include SP1 and Sp2, I would need to reinstall them, I know this is rather dumb thing to ask but would I have to do download SP1 or could I just download SP2?
Thanks in advance and I apolize for the dumb questions.
