(Sorted )Help Installing Windows ?

hi can some one answer a question about installing windows i would like to install windows again in my laptop as it seams to have slowed down so much lately and my question is can i just run the windows disc or is it a must that i have to partition the the hard drive first. any help would be much appreciated.
Answer #1
If i was you i would get a partition software to partition it first. Make sure the first c drive is active drive also. Otherswise if you let windows do it, it will set up a minumum of 2 drives, and 1 of those is a drive you cannot see.
Answer #2
First off all what Windows will you use? Windows 7 or XP?
Second how would you perform Installation (format) using DVD/CD or USB Flash?
After that you will get proper answer…

No partitioning is needed..Just boot with Windows install CD and Format and fresh install..
Unless if you want to partition..But no need if you only want to install a fresh windows..

what this guy said but if you dont even know how to install an OS then ild take it to someone that does sorry if that sounded mean didnt intend n that
1> Get into your bios by hitting either del or f1 or f2 its different on some machines
2> make sure that your dvd\cd drive is first boot device
3>save and exit
4>put the cd with the OS in the dvd\cd drive reset the computer
5>it should say hit any key to boot from cd\dvd so press any key
6>it should load up to a screen where you have all the things you need to install windows……..i personally never make a partition but its up to you
7>then windows will start installing hope this helps you out
also anything you want to keep back it up cause it will delete everything off your hdd
