Can somebody help? I want to wipe a computer clean of any novell COMPONENTS. I have a computer my father gave me that is CONFIGURED to access his jobs network...he still uses his old computer and doesn't NEED this one. I want to keep the current version of Win XP Pro that they have installed but after that I just assume get rid of everything and start from scratch. I unfortunately don't have the windows installation disks so I can't really REFORMAT the drive....where should I start?
Any Ideas?
Thanks1) uninstall anything you don't want
2) manually remove what you don't want
3) run CCleaner and fix your registry then wipe clean
4) open a command prompt and type "chkdsk c: /r /f" with no quotes. It will ask if you want to schedule a check during the next boot, type "y" then reboot (note- this could take a long time to FINISH when the process boots up, get a book)
5) run a defragmentor program

This is a quick way for you to start more or less "fresh"Easy Cleaners
-- Freeware registry scanner
Registrar Lite
-- Excellent replacement for Windows Regedit
Crap Cleaner
-- Freeware registry scanner/history cleaner

Caution is advised when using these programs!
Create backups of all important files before proceeding.

What is it that causes the initial window asking me to logon? I removed client for novell through add /remove but it still shows the standalone and domain choices at startup and I still have to put in the password to logon.
I appreciate the help but I guess I'm asking for an idea of "What it is I don't want" can I post a some kind of startup logfile so I know what network components are left to get rid of?
Thanks Guys
