Reinstalling an operating system, though it can be done by a reasonably competent, computer literate person, is a major undertaking that is not without risks, including but not limited to data loss, failure of devices to install after the OS is reinstalled, damages caused by faulty installation media, etc. Advice is given only to those willing to agree not to sue the site, its administrator, or its host should anything go wrong as a result of using this information.

Also DO NOT attempt to reinstall the operating system if you are on a network and do not have the prior approval of your network administrator. Do not sue this site if you ignore this and lose your job.

I agree to the above
