I feel like such a n00b

1. Back up everything.
By everything, you mean...? XD I have everything that's important to me on a CD. Do you mean drivers and stuff? o_0 Cos' I have no clue how.

2. Make a Windows ME bootdisk.
3. Start your computer with the boot disk in the drive.
4. type format c: (or whatever drive letter is appropriate).
...
6. Get into your BIOS and set it up to boot from a CD.
....XD Elaborate please! *looks in confusion* PS I use windows XP.

9. Once Windows in installed, install all your drivers and such.
10. Install everything else.
Install drivers... .... how? o_0 Everything else = what?
