I'd like to do a fresh install of Windows XP MCE on my Dimension 8400. However I'm wanting to avoid installing all of the bundled software and "extras" that Dell includes. I notice that the reinstallation CD that came with the computer is actually a DVD with more than 2 gigs of data on it. How flexible is the reinstallation process? Will I be given the option to install or not install some of these optional programs that I really don't want? Or am I going to need to acquire a barebones XP MCE disk to do a minimal install?

 

Thanks much for your responses!

Dave
