Hello
I suggest you do the following to reformat a Dell computer with windows XP
a. disconnect all external devices such printer, digital camera, player MP3 music or any other device connected to your computer.
b. place your CD recovery Dell Windows XP (usually purple or blue) in the hard drives. (CD player or DVD is running the software).
c. restart your computer into the Windows XP Setup screen. Press the F12 key immediately when the computer starts up.
d. Select option 4 when the menu appears.
NOTE: Press the SPACEBAR immediately or Windows start and you need to repeat these first three steps.
e. find the blue screen that takes care of the INSTALLATION. In this screen, press the F8 key and don't try the repair option. We go for a clean install. Then, press the ESC key in the corner.
f. partition __ (usually more large one), (d) to remove (not the FAT32 than NTFS choice with the highest volume on this subject). Press ENTER to execute your choice.
g. press L to complete and C to create.
h.Select "new raw format" (quick format) will work fine. Unless you have a lot of time on your hands.
i. go to the indicated such Windows configuration screen. Remember, you want to only 1 partition.
j. access Windows screen where it says "Setup is copying the files" on your computer. It will take about an hour to get through this Windows Setup on your Dell computer (or less).
k. let the computer automatically restarts. It will ask you before the reboot.
l. take note of the screen, "Preparing installation". Once Windows is ready to be put in place, follow the guests to the screen Configuration for the Internet zone, and other customizations. You shouldn't have to register with Microsoft, since you already have.
Mr., you must also reinstall the device drivers using the internet CD Dell support to address blue if they are not properly installed such as network cards, wireless, USB driver, sound card and more. Always test your computer to ensure that they work properly.

Today, most units come with a partition.which recovery are accessible by one of the F keys during startup. In addition to this, some are available in the windows recovery environment. After a take-over of the factory all the drivers and applications of origin are there when the procedure is finished. Search the site of fujitsu for the exact procedure for your model, or if you like to give me the model and I can find documentation.

Is to reinstall windows and reformatting the same windows? How can I reformat windows? TQ.
There are essentially two different methods to "install Windows":
1. a clean install (which is basically all wipes) imply the shape of the disk (or partition).
2. a repair install (which is supposed to leave all your programs and data intact) does not imply the formatting.

A little off topic...
I strongly suggest that you buy an external hard drive and do you backup files on it.
With an external hard drive, you can set up a schedule of backup files. All you need to do is turn on the computer > plug the drive Ext. hard and let the computer do the backup when the calendar.
You can leave the computer unattended and want you want to do.Nowadays, an external hard drive of 1 TB of capacity can be had for less than $100, and I quote in Canadian dollars. And I use one.
Imagine that you have to go through the computer for HOURS, feeding the machine with DVD whenever he asks.
I remember he had time, I could not complete backup of files because the computer kept asking for disk #3 while I was on the disk #5 etc.Personally, using DVD for backup of files, it of a waste of your time, childcare of the computer and the loss of your money to buy the DVD.

I created a pdf form to a Word doc with the air police 9 pt formatted; the text on the pdf form is air 9 pt, but the fields are formatted in courier 12 pt - how can I reformat the police in the fields?
Edit the form fields so that they use Helvetica by 9 points. Do not set the Arial font. Acrobat/Reader will use a private version of Arial as a substitute for Helvetica. If you specify Arial, it will integrate the entire police (sometimes several times), makes that increase the file size unnecessarily.
