Easier. Create a boot disk and get into DOS. Go to your C: drive and type "ren windows winold". Then go into "c:\winold\option\cabs" (might be "c:\winold\options\install") and type setup.exe and hit enter, and it will pretty much do a clean install of windows without having to delete anything. Once you're back in windows you can go into the winold folder and copy over shit you might have left in there, like c:\windows\desktop.
So, get into DOS, type "c:", hit enter. Type "ren windows winold", hit enter. Type "cd winold\options\cabs" or "cd \winold\options\install", hit enter. Or "cd winold", enter. "cd options", enter. "cd cabs", enter. Then type "setup.exe", enter. Then just walk through the setup.
You can download a boot disk here: http://bootdisk.com/bootdisk.htm. It will make it onto a floppy.

aye i did all that and it worked but when that setup program scanned my shit it said:
Setup detected one or more MS-DOS-based programs running on your computer. close all programs, and then click OK to continue.
Message SU0358
and i got everythin closed except for the MS-DOS window cuz i cant close it cuz the setup program runs as soon as i hit enter (of course)
so what do i do??

Did you do it from a DOS prompt outside of Windows, or inside of Windows? You've got to put the boot disk in before you turn the computer on, and it will give you a prompt to start the computer without cd rom support, choose that and it will take you to an A:\ prompt. From there get to C:\ and go from there.
