I was hoping to reinstall windows xp over the current installationas
to keep all the applications and files currently on my machine. Is
that possible? if so, how will I go about doing that?
I do not want to reformat. malware problem is been resolved. i just
need to restore some missing windows files except I do not know which.
(I have no restore points left because malware deleted them. it was
the latest antispyspider.us malware that went around this week. )
Thanks for any input.
Check your documentation. As you have a Dell machine it may have come with a
restore partition or restore disks, these may only permit you to restore to
the factory defaults which may delete all the data and software on the
machine.
If your machine came with a proper XP CD then the following will help :-
