What will be left after I format Windows XP and what will be deleted?
I just need confirmation of the following things
-when I format XP, things such as music, pictures, video, and things I downloaded to my computer(non-default) will be deleted
-does that (above) include thing such as Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Paint, Wordpad, Norton (Antivirus) or default games (ex. pinball, Hearts, Spider Solitaire)
-will I need to create a backup for those above if they can't be saved
-only things that I created a backup for will be saved
Thank you for the help!
When you reformat a hard drive, everything is wiped.
Anything that you load on your computer after the day you buy it, would be something that you will have to reload after you reformat. If it's software, you'll need to reload that particular software. If it's some kind of screensaver, or pictures, videos, music, and etc, they also will need to be recopied in after you reformat. Videos, music, pictures, things like that should be backed up to somewhere before reformating. Any files you created in wordpad, notepad, or Microsoft Works or Microsoft Office, all need to be backed up somewhere.
Internet explorer, wordpad, paint, default games, are part of XP and will reload when XP is loaded.
Antiviral software (like norton) is software that (as stated above) has to be reloaded.
Printer software/drivers would need to be reloaded also.
Just remember: anything you have loaded on your computer has to be reloaded or recopied. Software can be reloaded, but files (word, pictures, etc) need to be copied in so need to be backed up first.
