When I first bought my computer, they gave me the recovery disks for Windows XP, however, there was a lot of junk installed. I then clean installed vista and used it for about 2 years now. Now I need to install Windows XP again and I was wondering if there was a way to install it without all the junk on the discs. When I bought my computer they gave me 3 recovery discs(part 1,2 and 3) Then when I install XP I find all these trials and mini games. Anyway to get rid of them and only install XP?

Windows XP Clean Install Recovery…?
July 22, 2009
My Windows XP Computer has been running very slow lately. I have run virus and spyware scans and removed all that I can. I was wondering about recovering my computer. Could I recover it using the Windows XP Home Edition disk and do a clean install or would that be a pain?? My computer didn’t come with actual recovery disks. If any drivers weren’t installed, would I still be able to start the computer up after I do the install? What drivers will I need?? Your help will be greatly appreciated. Also, could I just download all the necessary drivers from Microsoft without any disks or anything??? Thanks again.
the current OS on this computer is me and I have absolutely nothing on this computer that i need to back up and save.
what is the least complicated and inexpensive way to do a clean install of xp onto this computer?
I would like to run this computer on a network with my other computer that currently uses xp.
from what the xp disk says, I can't boot to the cd because it has a license restriction to the original computer. I had to order the recovery disks cause initially it was installed into the hard drive only.
