I am asking a couple of questions.

I have currently been running this ops (xp pro) for near on 4 years now.

I have installed and uninstalled a lot of freeware, shareware and even postcardware.

I have always made images, so any problems, I do a restore without a hitch.

What do you think, time is 10:34:gmt so I will give it an hour.

I have a week off so can do a slow install with all my apps toboot.

Looks like poll went odd, top question without radio button is a question just comment please.

I decided to format and then restore a 1 year old image from 3 DvD's.

I also had some bad sectors on my HD so I repaired them also.

My windows drive is now half the size it was this time yesterday.

If I were to format and then spend 8 hours per day reinstalling software, drivers and updates I would be here till Friday.

you must have a lot of software then, when ever i re-format (usually 1ce every 1 or 2 months) it takes around 3 hours max for me to get Office and a few themes and drivers on and FS2004

Dude,

After you reinstalled ( you are doing so ) make an image of your drive.

If you need to format again you got it back-up in like 15-20 mins.

( reinstalling for me + proggies, updates and games takes me about 2? hour,

if i just do the imagte thing it takes me 15 roughly )
