I have two machines, a Toshiba laptop and a Dell PC. Both are running on Windows XP. The problem is with the Dell. It was used by innocents and now has some problems. I would like to erase everything and start over. The thing is, I would like to use the disks that came with the laptop so I can have Word rather than WordPerfect and other perqs that were included with the Toshiba. Can this be done? I'd hate to do all the work and find I have to reinstall the Dell software package. Just copying my files will be an immense performance. If I had a professional (preferred) do this, about what should I expect to pay?
