I have a 3 year old Toshiba laptop that came with XP Pro included in 3
recovery disks. The computer crawls. Reformatting using the recoverys disks
seems to improve performance for a very short time and it is downhill from
there. It is a 1.1 GHZ Celeron II processor and I have upgraded it to 512 MB
memory. I can find nothing wrong with hardware. I am convinced that if I
could do a clean install of XP without all the stuff that came on the
recovery disks it would run much better. Using Everest Home Edition I can see
the windows XP Product ID and Product Key. Is it possible to install only
Windows XP from the recovery disks?
