My plan was always to format C: and reload (with something different). Maybe that is just me. I hate wasting the time in keeping particularly those XP boxes running. There are the Cygwin tools if you want Unix / Linux tools on a Windows box. I have no idea if they work on Windows 7 though. If it is only needing to run a few tools there are Ubuntu releases and others that you can run off a CD drive without reloading the box.
As one of our members said 'You moved your mouse please reload.' You have my sympathy.
