That's one way to do it...
Although I am a firm believer in repairing an existing OS...
sometimes it's better to just start over fresh.
I still remember the time I was trying to clean up a badly infected
win98 installation...
after about 4 hours I realized there was nothing on the machine
other than <shudder> AOL
and a printer driver.
A format and reinstall had the machine up and running in maybe an hour or
so...
I even added a virus checker...
That was a few years back and she has not destroyed the machine yet !
