Hey guys, i'm new here, but not to computers, lol.

What I wanna know is the best way to format my HP G60 (Win 7 Home Premium) to remove all the extraneous programs like HP Dashboard, etc, and get it running at its peak again. I'm currently working at my school in our "Connection Assistance Room", but that's mostly configuring WiFi, etc. I don't have any experience in formatting.

Thanks!

Hi,

Do you plan to install Windows 7 from a retail disk, or is this an OEM version of Windows 7? If its the former, then this is an easy procedure, once you insert the installation DVD you will get an option to format the har disk. Simply select that option. Be sure to back up anything you want to keep, since once the disk its formatted, all the information is lost.
