you're missing a poll option: "Wait... you mean you can KEEP installs?!"

LOL I agree. I'm always moving stuff around and decideing just to wipe the drive clean and start over again. There was a week I had 7 different OSes on the drive. That was a good week lol

Whenever I really have to. I don't fiddle with my computer as much as I used to, so things rarely need any fixing. In most cases, new hardware is the reason (i.e new motherboard, or new main hard disks etc)

I use to format every week or two when I ran Win '98/Win ME. Since I got my XP machine, probably about 10 times, lol. The last time was Dec. 26.. but that was just a format, I bought a new HDD.

used to format every week, then I started every 2nd week, not I format about once a month, just to clear out all the crap left over from installing/uninstalling, downloading, burning, etc.
