![]() I have performed MANY clean installs of Windows (probably over 2000 over the past 5-6 years), and MANY MANY people are shocked when they notice that Word and Excel are no longer on their PCs (even though I explained that "everything will be erased, this includes ALL programs like Office or Nero or WordPerfect or iTunes, you will ONLY have regular Windows functionality with web access, multimedia capabilities, etc, but anything that is not 'built-in' to Windows will be gone). ![]() NOTE - Office is not 'built-in' to Windows. Wiping will leave you with a laptop that powers on, and that's all.Īll you'll get is a "Operating system not found" message. If you do not have a re-install disc for Windows, if you do not have re-install discs for Office and the other good programs, then wiping is NOT a good idea. Wiping a drive means that EVERY bit of data is COMPLETELY erased - forever. Keep in mind that when you wipe the drive, all the "good programs" like Office (and Windows 7 too) will be 100% gone forever, and if you're not careful, this may wipe any recovery/restore partition also.
