i have decided to re-format to clean out my computer...
the other reason is that i couldn't pick what games to keep and think why i was keeping it

[TheBlackParrot]

Ubuntu update messed up GRUB a few days ago, and I was locked out of my Windows 7 user account in the Recovery Console.
Had to format and downgrade to XP yesterday.

I format every month. I have 2 hdds though. 1 ssd and 1 sata drive. My ssd has my games and my OS on it. And then whenever I download anything, I put it on my sata drive. I format the sata drive every month. But I defrag, disc cleanup every week, and virus scan and such every other day.


My computer is cleaner than.. well.. something that's very clean.

I haven't reformatted since two summers ago when my RAM failed and murdered Vista.

[Packer]

First reformat was when upgrading my Vista 32 bit to 64 bit. 2nd time was because when I did the Vista upgrade it corrupted some Windows files that effected me after a couple of months. Haven't ever since because I don't get viruses.

[Miga]

Last time I had to reformat is because the Windows 7 beta expired, quite a long time ago.

I've been on the same copy of Windows Vista Ultimate since, never gave me problems.
