Wiping my hard drive clean..

[RageRage]

Hi, i want to wipe my hard drive clean but not reinstall windows. Basically i want my c drive empty except for the windows folder.

Obviously i could just delete it from C:/ drive but there has got to be a better way of doing it?

Thanks.

ever thought about reformating then reinstalling windows?

You could try going to add and remove programs and un-installing everything apart from nvidia/ati drivers,
media player,
windows internet explorer,installer 3
audio drivers
and microsoft office/updates first,
Then do a defrag
Then un-install anything else you dont want, left in folders i.e. remanets left of files, games,drivers etc,
Do another defrag
download and install ccleaner or download it now and save onto disc, and run to clean up the registry,

DO NOT UNINSTALL ANY DRIVERS TO DO WITH YOUR O.S
hope this helps
good luck

It's not really possible. I know you probably want a faster system, but Windows gets bogged down over time. It's always a good idea to reinstall windows every once and a while.
