Going to install fresh

My 630m hangs for 75 seconds on the welcome screen right after the
Windows startup music sounds. I don't know what is causing it. I did
logging and the file shows that it is looking for the same drivers
over and over but Google searches didn't help much.
So, I was considering doing installing fresh without the bloatware and
this is a good time.
Basically I think what I need to do is:
- Download the current drivers to CD
- Boot from the install disk which may give me the option to wipe out
my main partition.
- That will install a fresh copy of Windows
- Install drivers.
Does anyone know if I can use an install disk from a different
computer. If I would want XP Media Center on a laptop that currently
has XP Home, can I use the other computers install disk?

- Legally no.
- Practically, probably no.
MCE is different from Dell's version of Home and Pro in that it isn't BIOS
locked and will still require a proper key
