Whenever I've done a reformat of my system, I've always done it using the WinXP cd and chosen the Quick NTFS Format. I've never had any problem doing a quick format, it takes mere seconds and seems to work perfectly.
I know there is a Full Format option. I know this would be nessecary for an unformatted disk, however what benefits would there be to doing a full format over a quick one on a windows reinstall?
This has only just cropped up in my mind as I was watching the gadget show last week and they said about reinstalling windows, and recommended always doing a full format. Why?
