Win7 is fun to play with, but I still prefer XP for raw speed, security, and functionality. |

you can't format the C: drive unless you boot from the DVD.
it means put the DVD in your drive, restart your computer, and select DVD-ROM as first boot device. Press any key to boot from DVD... | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Too many to list.
