Idontwantspam Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 Since you have the Windows XP OEM disk, you can use that. Since it's OEM, it should also pre-activate, have the needed drivers slipstreamed already, etc. However, it probably won't have all the extra crap on it. You should try using that first. Or, you could configure the currently installed OS however you want - remove all the crapware, install the software you want, etc, then make an image of the machine and save the image either to a DVD if it'll fit or to an external hard drive. The tool I use to do imaging is called PING (PartImage Is Not Ghost) and it can do all of the above very easily, and I would highly recommend using that to make an image of your system once it's configured how you want.
