    Hi,

    I am having a noteboo, which i got 2nd hand from mmy friend.........it doesnt has any recovery partition......but it has 2 drives C: and D: so my questions:

    1. How do i reinstall a complete new XP with formating that drive
    2. there has been to windows directory, one on C and another on D, also at startup it shows three XP OS options, means someone would have tried installing XP on both C and D, so now how do i know which windows i am currently booting with...?
    3. any special care while installing OS on a notebook, as till now i did only for deskptop......if yes pls let me know.

    Thanks,
