PM5K Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 Ah **** it, format it and reinstall, don't ever ask people, I mean ****, in the time you spend waiting for replies you could have already been halfway through. Besides you are the only one that know is the problems are worth/possible for you to fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dclanz Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 Go for it. Just don't make it a habit.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PM5K Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 Yeah, once you get hooked on format:c or the slang term "focie" pronounced fohsee, it can be hard to quit. It's what they call a "gateway drug", soon you'll constantly be cleaning your monitor and keyboard, even if they aren't dirty. Then you'll find yourself going to friends houses and intentionally breaking their installations just to get some focie. It can be hard to quit, you'll need to get into a support group, and go through the twelve step program. Trust me, you don't want to go through all that, good luck my friend.

PM5K Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 I can't believe you guys are laughing about such a serious subject! I'd like to see you go into the Best Buy and steal a big box of floppys and cdrw's just to get some focie! And it's not even the same, because it's not focie it's fo{your drive letter here} example fodie. Imagine the shame! Then lets talk about how you feel, when you'd sell your ass on the street just to be able to get some focie. Sneaking into the library and trying to get some focie, then getting busted by the library police and sent to jail. Go through all that then come in here and laugh !

masterbug Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 I format once every 3 months, since i use it for my work and do some experimenting Just format :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PM5K Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 Yes, it's ok to get some focie ocasionally, like every few months, but here are some sign you are addicted: Do say you won't get any focie for a few months, but find yourself getting more in just a few weeks? Do you tell yourself you can stop getting focie anytime you want to, but you don't stop? Do you sometimes feel guilty about getting focie? Are you secretly irritated when your family or friends discuss your focie behavior? Do you try to avoid family or close friends while you are getting focie? If you answered yes to three or more, you may have a problem, get help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teflon Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 yeah definately reformat I do it every 2-3 months. System runs great that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger H. Veteran Posted January 25, 2002 Veteran Share Posted January 25, 2002 i'm bout to format too.. i would have format already if my friend got here with my burner so i can backup my stuff.. That's the last time i let her use it to make cds cuz she take forever to bring back stuff!! Oh well.. i got like 30GB of stuff.. anyone know anywhere i can upload that :) hehe... Go format .. it always better than trying to figure out stuff.. my system only takes 25 - 35mins to install XP and i know i wouldn't figure out half the problems by then. My computer is never more than 2 weeks old so full version shareware (with 30 days expiration) are my best friends :) hehe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teflon Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 @SHoTTa35 invest in another hard drive to backup to cause getting 30gigs on cds will take 2 weeks itself. Or you should just uses partition magic to make a 5-6gig C drive and just format that and leave all the data you need on the large D drive.
