You people pick things apart like there is no tommorrow. Keeps me on my toes i guess

My computer is from BEFORE they put in that program, and my mother has LOST the disks.

I am going to take it to a computer store and have them drain it and reinstall windows xp and the drivers.


Now here is a new questions.

When I take it to have it drained, will they do it maunally or a machine or a program or what?
either way, will they keep a log of my hard drive?

The main reason I want this computer's hard drive scratched is because my mom had a rather unsavory friend a while back who downloaded limewire and looked up some certain types of videos. I just got on limewire(i use morpheus)and found them. I told mom about them and she said that she let a guy a while back get on the computer at night, and that is the only person she knows that had access to it besides us. I never liked the guy, and he always seemed like a freak to me.
Anyhow, I don't want the cops to be alerted about them if they find them on my hard drive, so I won't take it to a computer store if they do do that. I will just save up my money and buy the disks, or throw the computer in the trash.

I am not going to have my future ruined for what some fucking pervert did on my property, and ill be damned if my mom's ex-husband finds out about it and uses it as an escuse to not allow my sister to live with us.
