  Eh....Have to ensure you got the Windows CD (assuming u are installing Windows la). Then also have a bootable floppy which allows you to do fdisk in command prompt (if not using xp).
  
  Other things you need to do are: backup your data, have all necessary software on hand, and IF you use sata you need ur sata disk ^_^

  take ur harddisk out and dip it in sme soap solution.
  
  Rinese it gently.
  
  U dont have to iron it
  
  dry it in sunlight.
  
  well u can put some fungal power of viruses
  
  and make sure its completely dried
