Don't use Windows at all.
Download Ubuntu or SuSE or RedHat's deskop (whatever it's called now) and give it whirl. Especially if you're going to reinstall Windows anyway. Ubuntu in particular is faster to set up and potentially less problematic, once you figure out the basics (which aren't that hard).
More on topic:
Put a piece of sticky note paper over the touchpad. It'll still work if you press down on the paper, but will cut down on the random movement.
