How do I go about this? Is there any software I need? Any good guides you can recommend? I also need to know how to reinstall everything.... =/

This is Vista Home Premium 32bit btw. Can provide more info if you like.
 
Well, I DL a lot of stuff, deleted it again (Bad DL speeds), tired again, have half complete installs all over my HDD, games I'm going to get rid of, etc. There's so much stuff, I'm just gonna empty the entire disk.

LOOK HERE!!! All right all right I'll cave already. Thing is I've been learning some really interesting lately. Complex; systematic, explains a lot. I'm learning new things everyday. What could it be you ask? Stick around if you want more hints.

As far as deleting and reinstalling, just insert the install disk and when you format the drive you are deleting everything. I would recommend backing things up on an external HDD or some other drive... Just documents, emails, etc... seems like when I reformat I say I don't want something and then I realize I did want it after it's gone.

A good idea is to DL drivers and utilities that you currently use and put those on your back up disk. If you play games and have steam, copy your steam apps folder to the disk aswell then all you will have to do is install steam again and you won't have to install any of the steam games (thus you won't have to DL them either).
