Reinstalling Windows

August 12th, 2000, 10:10 AM

Hi, I was just wondering if it was possible to reinstall windows 95 (version 4.00.950 B) without formatting the hard drive that it will be installed to.
TIA

Yes if you currently have windows installed on this drive you can install to a different directory (it will ask) or you could just boot into dos and deltree c:\windows to remove the whole windows directory..

I would recommend the later just so you remove all the windows clutter and free up some hard drive space..

Remember just in case you didn't know you will have to reinstall most of your other programs.
