I've formatted 100 or so times. I used to format at least once a week. I guess back before I had school and a job I actually enjoyed setting everything back up.

Between Windows 95 up to the present Windows XP, approximately 40-50 times. It was every other month back when I had Windows 98, but now with XP probably 1-2 times a year.

Entire drive or just partitions? I don't think I have ever formatted an entire drive that I use, only for other people. Usually, I'll just format the partition that I'm going to overwrite.

Haven't yet. Will probably have to soon though, lots of programs not uninstalling properly and leaving crap behind, along with avg not healing anything it finds recently...:angry:

I only had Windows XP install on this Hard Drive.

I've format a lot cuz your computer gets slower over time.

Vista won't have that.

And also sometimes i mess it up by deleting the boot.ini file or mess with shell packs.

I formatted my computer just about every day for a few weeks last year. I was having a problem with my Dell modem and every time that I contacted Dell support they made me format my harddrive and reinstall windows.

The Dell service technician ended up putting 2 of the exact same modems in my computer and it didnt fix the problem. Finally, after calling and speaking to a Dell tech support person while the Dell service technician was at I house I found out that all the modems of the make and model were defective. Oh well.

If you have a Dell and find yourself having problems withy our pc you should expect to format alot. It is the first reccomendation from Dell alot (I found this out through my modem and CD drive troubles, both problems ended up being hardware issues).
