Hi everyone,
My 2.5 year old IBM ThinkPad T43 has been getting very slow and cluttered over the last few months/year.
I'm hoping to reformat and reinstall the OS (Windows XP) later this evening.
IBM/Lenovo appear to list most drivers (later versions too) on their website, so that should be OK I hope.
I've backed up 'my documents' (pics/music/videos) and copied the favourites accross to a portable HD (iPod).
Trying to think if I've missed anything before I take the plunge and reformat. Can anyone think of anything to check/backup before I go for it?
I can't find the original XP Pro disks, but I have a spare licensed copy of XP Media Centre Edition here, any problems envisaged with this?
Any advice most appreciated
Will
