KISS = keep it simple, stupid
It's a question of value -- how valuable are the data and services on
the OP's computer? I assumed they were valuable and responded accordingly.
If the data and services are of no value, then KISS would be running the
computer until it breaks, wiping the HDD, doing a fresh install, and
starting over. The other stuff is not required.
