| hi, In my Windows 7, I installed Norton Internet Security 2010 Beta. Since it was very high on resources, I uninstalled it. Even after uninstalling, system CPU consumption ranges around 100 %. It is so slow that I cannot even use Winamp. The music is played intermittently. Unfortunately, I do not have system restore. How can I reinstall Windows 7 ? Can I put the CD, format partition and simply reinstall. My system has both Windows 7 and XP. How will it affect booting ? I get an option to choose from XP and W7. I tried task manager and couldn't find any suspecting entries. PS: I do not have any useful data in W7. |

| Sorry. I didn't notice. But it was on top. The audio failed because I terminated the process. When I checked with driver agent, all my audio drivers were up to date. |

It works the same if do not want to upgrade from 7100 to RTM too. After installing, delete the windows folder from windows 7 only. | |

Rep Power: 6 | I think formatting the Windows 7 partition will make Windows XP unable to boot as it's using Windows 7's boot loader and you will need to use Windows XP CD Recover Console to repair with fixboot or fixmbr commands to straight things up. I used to do this as an easy way to remove Linux. Don't know if it's similar case. But be careful. |

I use Xp in C and Vista in D, so even if i format D, the bootloader remains. I use Easy BCD to change between vista and Xp bootloader. You can use bootsect.exe from vista setup to achieve the same thing. | |
