Before we explorer this next suggestion, let me ask if any of you have ever had your Windows system freeze up on you? (Laughter) You mean this happens to you like it frequently happens to me? How about the Blue Screen of Death, have any of you seen this? (Again, Laughter) In this next example of using multiple operating systems, I’m going to show you how to eliminate or greatly reduce the number of times Windows freezes up on us or crashes on us.
There are some utilities on the market that claim to be able to cleanup our Windows systems. Frankly, I’m not sure I trust them that much. They may clean off some files that I did not want cleaned off my system. Let me show you a safer way to clean up your Windows system.
First, you will use PartitionMagic to create an empty primary partition on your first hard drive. In this empty partition, we are going to install the very latest version of your operating system directly from the CD to give us a fresh, clean copy of the operating system. This time we are not going to copy across all of the garbage from our old Windows system.
