    I plan to reformat my dv9500t using the Comp USA clean install disc, in order to get rid of the bloatware. I choose the 4 year lojack choice because I'm in college. How can I keep this and get rid of the rest. Also, might I loose so drivers such as the fingerprint reader or webcam? Thanks for the help guys.

    You can just reformat the computer and install all the necessary drivers + software later

    If you reformat, you lose everything. You're going to have to reinstall lojack along with your drivers.
