I'm really a novice at this but my son is using Macrium Reflect Pro 5.0 to backup to create images for a Windows 7 Dell XPX 8700 PC. He ended up with some corrupt files and I was told by a computer tech (he messed with his PC for an hour) that I either needed to wipe the hard drive and do a Clean Install, or try to restore to an earlier image.

I recently restored the operating system for my sister's Dell Latitude, It had become very, very slow, and so I would have expected that it would be a lot faster. Not so. It crawls, and I can't figure out why. What I'd like to do is a clean install, but I don't want to reformat the C drive because I'll afraid that will make the recovery partition (which doesn't have a drive letter)...
