I would go for reformatting the HD, you then start with a "clean sheet"
I have never done this myself and would be interested in other replies

Are there any good web sites that guide you through the process ?

AIUI you need a windows start up disk (floppy) and then need to put on
it the driver(s) for your CD-ROM (which and what are they ?)

I would also make sense to copy your auotexec.bat and config.sys onto a
floppy

Once you have typed the dreaded "FORMAT C:" and the machine has done
it's stuff you boot from the start up disk, gain access to your CD-ROM
and load the OS (probably Windows), from there it's a case of loading
the other software as normal (I think !!!)

Prior to doing any of this you will back up any/all personal data/files
onto floppies and test the start up disk to ensure you can gain access
to your CD-ROM.

Any other information / advise gratefully received
