Reformatting Question

[S!X]

does reformatting wreck your harddrive?:helpsmili

[Skiz]

define "wreck".

You mean does it destroy the hard drive and make:huh: it unusable?

Why do you want to reformat?

[S!X]

my comps a fuckin POS thats why.

it doesn't wreck it, it just wipes out everything that was on the harddrive to begin with, which is basically so you can install a new OS. But hey u got it running at 2 ghz, why the reformat (and no ur comp isn't crap, i've seen much worst).

if you reformat, then you'll lose your data, unless you either:

a) burn your files, docs etc.. to CD, or pref DVD, or
b) partition your HDD, save all your files, docs etc... to partition (B) and reformat (A)

[Skiz]

Backup the stuff on DVD or a secondary hd that you cant live without, then reformat and start fresh. Its not gonna "wreck" anything, its gonna wipe it out.
