    also be a bit weary about fujitsu kit, as they often have strange drivers, and you have to have the Special fuj cd to get the drivers, so make sure you have a copy if the drivers before reinstalling/wiping it out

    Hi, all the drivers are ok, I.ve done 2 clean instals on it,I should know off by heart now, but just wanted the generic steps nifty gave me last time.
    cannot even find my last time on forum search, it was on it.. Have to find mode lnumber later, Son's still got it, just want the steps that guided me through the procedure of a clean instal.
    it wasn't specific for Fujitsu to my knowledge, but, I'm probably wrong.
    sorry if this is vague, like me.

    Is this what you looking for quoted from what nifty posted before.

    It's a Fujitsu. Just run a clean install if nothing to save. Of course if you created an image using Macrium, you could use that to restore the laptop.

    You already have the Windows 7 recovery disc.

    Installation instructions here in three parts and 34 pics Delete all partitions as indicated and install Windows 7 on the newly unallocated space.

    For the future, take note of closed's advice and create an image using Macrium once you have installed all Windows Updates and your usual software.
