Don't do it if you have an OEM system (something made by dell, compaq, etc...).

Yeh - go down the page and look at the 'Harder Method'. You'll need to use your XP CD to go into the recovery console, and then do what they tell you to do on the site.

Again, don't do it if you have an OEM machine.

Will I lose all data after following this process?
