Hi guys me again

im having some problems with my pc its full of viruses and adware its slowing the pc down i was wondering about buying a external hdd to save all my needed information on.
And then see if i can buy windows xp media centre edition or should i go with a different os. then format my hdd to remove everything and simply just reinstall the os.
i need to know weather this is a good idea or not cuz i would like to clean my whole system cuz of all the **** i have on it.

Thanks

an external hdd is a good idea for storing data. And Windows XP MCE is a very good version of windows XP, the best In my opinion. how big is your primary harddrive? it might be better to just buy a bigger internal hdd and then reinstall the OS. Then what you can do, is put your old one in an external enclosure and use it as an external harddrive.

ive used 126gb of 178gb also i dont need a external hdd just i found a cheap 500gb hdd for £60

Edit. also i cant find windows Xp MCE doya know where i can buy it from cuz i dint get a disk with it on wen i got my pc

I think XP Media Center wasn't released for retail, just on manufactured computers, I remember reading that somewhere, when in doubt though, try ebay.
If your PC is a Dell then they no longer ship cds with them unless you pay extra...go figure...

its packard bell is there a way of like getting another hdd and installing a different os and being able to switch between both OS`s
