How Many Times U Format Ur Pc

[prathapml]

Otherwise,  my real machine gets its C:  formatted once in 3 days. 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

No one else to rival this?

[Rekenaar]

Not me!

Once every 6 to 8 months.

[jelli]

I used to prathapml but then i discovered VMware so that gets used to test nlite and other stuff so it cut it down to about once every 2 weeks.

[KJxp]

WinXP: not once

Win2000: not once

Prev OSs: ?

[godan]

well i have a total of 5 personal computers and id say that on avg they each get a fresh os install 2 times a month.

I can't say I can rival that. I have a few partitions on my comp and my primary gets formatted at least once a month. I have other partitions that may get formatted 2 or 3 times each and then sit dormant until I nLite them again. You beg the question prathapml, why every 3 days?

My work PC is reinstalled once per two years, test machine next to me is reinstalled 2-3 times every day...

For fun!

Yes, really!

I started doing that (the dance of clean install) when my PCs would give trouble (as in boot-problems, crashes...).

Then afterwards, did it for the sake of testing out uA installs.

Now, I don't quite need that much testing, but still I do the same just for the heck of it. (because windows slows down very quickly with my kind of usage and downloads, etc. - so a re-format serves as a good way to flush out all the junk).

Moreover my optimized uA makes it easy for me - 5 GB installed from the disc in just 28 minutes, so I start uA when I have to go and have a quick tea, and before I'm back its done!

I'm not joking!

I have to start doing like you prathapml.. . I format about 2 to 3 a month usually. I'm almost getting to a point where I have the so called perfect unattended install. But with nLite keep improving, more testing on my unattended install is needed...

Every saturday I Format my computer.

I also do i because of the slowing down part because there seems to be no other program in existent other than Windows Setup wich can effectivly prevent this (although NLite sure helps alot ). But my reinstallimg pattern is about one reïnstall every 1,5 month (averaging from every 1 to 2 months).

(Just did one yesterday evening (6-05-2005 )(after 3 corrupt installs, lukily i couldn't get to the formating part becausee of this...).

[CrisCr0ss]

once every 2-3 months

[sednainc]

many times got one time a format three time a week

[oldwolf]

Whenever it falls over and I cant restart.

1-2-3-whatever times a year, x 3 computers x 4 kids.

[oneless]

  after SP2 included in my XP CD ,

   after my first cable connection ,

   after my first uA_XP_CD.

Am I too old ?
