How ofton to reformat

[EricB]

My mind changes like the weather. plus I am always trying something different. I have 7 partitions. it's fairly easy to reformat. I don't have viruses. I'm just alway change something. with my custum made xp disc, all of my xp drivers are already loaded onto it. it only take me 15-20 minutes to do

I do my system 3 or 5 times a month because of everything I do on my system to learn how to fix, sometimes, things go wrong.

same here...used to be that bad but now i just use images with nroton ghost...much easier adn faster.

Maybe its me or not, but when I use an image, it just dont seem the same as a clean install even tho its the same. Thats why I dont do it. We use images at work and I dont like it, but when I do a clean install and add the programs myself, its runs much better and I can see that

How do you reformat your computer just insert your windows disk and boot from it

I use a Windows 98 bootdisk from www.bootdisk.com
Delete the partitions and make new ones then install xp
