I may be selling my laptop soon and need some advice - especially from others who have sold theirs. Before you sold did you reformat your hard drive and then re-load an operating system? My laptop has a set of "restore" disks that load XP, along with a host of proprietary (bloated) software. A number of features on the unit will not work without this software. I plan to reformat and reload the entire software load from the restore disks before selling it. What would you do? Thanks for any advice!
