[QUOTE="Elev8/Levit8, post: 507402, member: 5744"] Just a thought... If you're reformattin & stuff... You've prolly got a nice big HD, so consider splitting it into partitions. Can save loads of work in future doing this sort of stuff.. I gots this config (all on 1 hard disk - cept for the CD/DVDs) C: - 60Gb, Windows & Software D: - 160Gb, Data/Choons etc E: - CD/DVD Drive F: - CD/DVD Burner G: - 10Gb, Temp files, Web cache, Windows swap file H: - 10Gb, Image Drive When you format/reinstall, keep H: as a FAT drive, then snidey a copy of Norton Ghost. You can create an image of yer C drive on H: so that next time it gets bolloxed, you can just rebuild C: again from the image in about 30 minutes. Yer windows & all yer software will be nice & snappy again! If all yer data etc. is on another drive (D:) then you won't lose it when you rebuild. Ghost fits on a floppy, & if you stick it on a bootable disk, then even if yer PC's bolloxed so it won't even boot up, then you can boot off the floppy & restore the image (on H:) back to C: in 30 mins & it'll all work again (so long as H: is a FAT drive). Takes a bit of setting up first time you do all this, but saves you bigtime in the long run, as backing up data/reformatting/reinstalling everything takes yonks & is a pain. You don't necessarily need the G: drive above, but it's my way of stopping Windows running like a dog after a few weeks of use when the disk gets fragged. Sorry if this is too techy, or is about stuff you already know. [/QUOTE]
