When you take everything off - do a COMPLETE reformat. Wipe EVERYTHING off
and start with a bare slate.
As for your Mustek scanner, believe me, when you reformat, it will no longer
be on your system. Nothing will be. We are talking about your computer being
a putty-colored paperweight until you reformat. My favorite analogy for
putting the Windows disk in to fix a problem is like the fairy tale of the
Princess and the Pea. All the extra mattresses ever did was to bury that pea
a bit deeper.
