What's the longest you've gone without formatting?

Before I would have done it routinely every 6 months. The truth is during my Software Engineering degree I found there was far too many applications on my PC, I knew it would take one hell of a time re-install and reconfiguring everything so I just left it.

After graduating, I never found to the time to do it.

I've been putting up with stupidly long boot times for far too long! Ironically it's been bang on 3 years

Today, no more!

Any advances?

make a list of software you want to install, and have the drivers ready where applicable

Done, done and done!

I've had my first mega fail. I formatted my drive and it turns out my installation disk was corrupt.

Now I'm currently install my old nlite setup with XP. I knew I should have tested it on VMWare first
