has anyone else used this on their systems? im about to use it, dell said my computer has it. Id rather try a clean install thats easier to do, then REINSTALL the OS dvd and then have to do the driver cd and app cd..... I realize image restore brings computer back to way it was when i bought it.... tech support said if i have a virus it wont fix it and it wont work... i told them i HAD trojans and a PAV.EXE virus a cpl of months ago but its been cleaned and gone since then.....trouble is having that left its mark on the system, some things dont work right or dont work at all and they did before the virus.....
so i guess im wondering, BEFORE i do, do you think it will clear up some of these glitches?? i backed up what i want saved, not the whole drive , just what i want to keep... doing this must wipe the HD to some degree, if they tell you to back up data... right?? so maybe by doing this the things that are messed up or stopped working, do you think this will give it a fresh start as far as HD is concerned? hopefully fix the glitches.... is doing this sort of like reinstalling vista again, only without the dvd?
please let me know what ANYONE thinks, i plan to do it today sometime
i also have added 2GBs of memory since i bought the system, so should i remove the modules to make it back to 1 GB when i bought it? or wouldnt it matter....
