yep doesnt hurt any thing to reformat but you left one step out wing he
should also try just reinstalling windows thing is though after trying all
that he will have spent hours longer on trying to fix it. when he could have
simply reformated after backing up every thing he needs to.
heheh after reformating it still suprises me how much faster my puter runs.
my sugestion make your self a schedual for refromating and stickl to it i
try and do it every 6 months some do it ev 3 months.
defraging is the bigest waste of time if you dont do it daily if you wait.
even if you try and do it once a week it can take hours to defrag a 6.4 gig
hd.
i could start reformating now 8am and be fully back on line by 930 or 10 or
i could start defraging now and bew back on line by 6 7 8 pm i run 20 gig
hds.

thats corect windows temp dir is for installs updates etc and that is it.
now some programs for scanning etc also use the windows temp dir but even
thoose are nothing more than bmps.
as for reformating i supose you will try to tell me that this does damage to
your hd??
guess what i know for a fact that it does no such thing period.
as for backing up you system files thats foolish.
reason lets see you back up your hd and systme files regualry.
then you start getting crashes and restore you most recent back up of your
system files guess what you just restored the cause.
back up down loaded programs only the installers and zips your docs and
maybe your ini and config files.
never back up system files less you want back in the same deal again.
as for reformating it cleans up your hd and can even fix some bad areas on
the hd.
i have been working on puters sence 486 dx 4 100s were still considered mid
and high end puters.
so dont try telling me reformating a hd will damage it in any way shape or
form.
as i know better.

as for not knowing puters i know them more than most as i work on them and
with them daily ive taken the pratice test online for the a+ cert and passed
easly.
evne though passin it doesnt realy mean much. ive met a few a+ certified
techs that know less than my brother and he isnt very good at working on
puters yet.
so yes i do know what im talking bout and yes a low level format can damage
a drive unless you know what your doing.
ive seen many drives that have been relowleveled work perfectly i my self
wont touch a drive with lowlevel format cause i dont know how to do it
right.
i do know the biggest danger is haveign the power fail while low leveling a
drive if it does it realy screws things up with the right programs you can
recover a drive like that sometimes.

what i normaly do is install every thing for windows drivers etc and make a
ghost image and burn to a cd then when i want to restore my os with all the
drivers inplace and ready i just ghost it back over to the hard drive from
the cd:)

i am defently experianced i learned how to work on puters from a tech that
has been doing this for the last 12 to 15 years he defently knows what hes
doing and between him teaching me and building and upgradeing repairing etc
my self sence 1992 or 93 id say i have a fairly good idea as to what im
doing
> piece
as for norton and other after market defrag tool im all for them as they do
work.
as for windows id never use that heap of win 95 junk it hasnt had a update
sence like win 95 b and can in some case do more harm than good it can even
cross link files.
a little tip when running any defrag tool be sure to disable any and all
power management as well as screen savers etc all they will do is cause
defrag to mess things up

yeh well i have worked on ny and all puter from that time till present and
im not saying that my option is the only option.
reofrmating in many cases will be a faster way to get rid of a problem than
defraging.
and you can now get programs like ghost and make a ghost image of your hd
right adter you install your main programs and all your hard ware.
after reformating you install ghost and tuse the image you made to restore
your hard ware configs as well as your main programs.
for example mine would be true space 4.5 , 3d max 3.1, sitepad pro and pkzip
for windows.
to reinstall all them from a ghost image file it takes me like a hour and a
half max.
then i just install any other program i have as needed all you have to do is
back up your downloaded files when you get say 100 250 or 650 megs depending
on what you use to back up your downloads i my self use a cd burner so its
every 650 megs for me.
any way you look at it it is faster to reformat than to defrag.
if you cant agree with that then no big deal i think every one is alowed to
have their opinion.
and i never said you should lowlevel
and i guess youve never seen a oem scsi hd they dont come preformated you
have to lowlevel them be for you can even use them.

last time i messed with scsi was like 2 years ago i was useing that as a
example only at that time they came with specilized util programs.
and bout nortons defrag tool ive never used it but have heard some good
things bout it and may give it a shot my self and see how well it does do.
i my self prefer ghosting and reformating my self as i know im what ill get
after words alot more hd space as i never reinstall all the programs i had
previously.
after my last reformat i had 2 gigs used after i got done installing every
thing i used alot compared to like 18gig used on one 20 gig hd not
includeing downloaded installers etc.
after my next rf i figure ill have bout 2.5 gig used as i gen go up by bout
500 megs of progys i use often enough to keep around and reinstall.
in all honesty i havent tryed nortons defrag sence i have tryed other norton
utils only to end up haveing to reformat to fix problems that norton utils
caused.
hehe some of them like to take control away from the user and i dont like
that i want control over what my puter does.
i rember one time i installed i think it was net zip i had one hell of a
time getting rid of it never could get my puter back to normal after that
program finaly i said the hell with it and reformated.
basicly i want control of my os i dont like automation utils i disabled
windows own automation util
tash scedualer
dang i typoed the hell out of that didnt i o well that what happenes when
you eat with one hand and type with the other :)

Jan 23, 2001, 2:39pm
funny thing is after reformating i find out that theres only like 500 megs
worth of apps that i realy use extra sence the last reformat i dont bother
with uninstallers less the app realy suxx like net zip did (NOTE) never
uninstall net zip less you like missing system files . better yet never
install it to begin with hehe :)
what im saying is 90% of the apps you have on your hd chances are you never
use them you downloaded them tryed them maybe even used them for a little
while then they just sit there and eat up space.
uninstalling can and will delete systme files includeing norton clean sweep
what ends up happening after that you have to reformat.
as for lowleveling being pre ide fraid not end users just dont have to do it
its done at the factory
and up to bout 2 maybe 3 years ago oem scsi had to be lowleveled to be used
when you got them im not sure bout scsi today in the oem market they may
still need to be lowleveled i havent been working in a puter shop steady for
a while.
any more i just keep up with the odm market though i do buy oem hds ram etc
as the guy i get it from does burn in test on bout every thing he buys oem.
kinda of a tech choice table cept his whole shop is tech choice :)
and yes formating hds is done at the os level.
there are some great utils out there to do as i belive rolo said mid level
format basicly they make sure theres abso nothing left on the hd and can
delete partions that cant be goten rid of any other way etc.
the one im talking bout is drive pro i use it my self great little progy
right up there with trouble shooter ez drive and the like.
as of a year ago drive pro and trouble shooter both required a a+ cert to
get.
i dont know bout now though.
i do not sugest you use trouble shooter or drive pro unless you know what
the hell your doing else you can litterly destroy hard ware.

you have less than a gig left?
find any and all prgys you dont use and uninstall them
bout only option left after that is to reformat if your that low les your
only useing like a 2 gig hd and if that all you got maybe time for a
upgrade.
20 and 30 gig hds are realy cheap right now wont quote prices they just
change to much to fast but they are less than 200 bucks all the time now
some major sales will get you wone for 99.

times, yet he's simply too cluelessly inept to learn how to do floating
point math correctly and claims it's a Criterion problem, which I just don't
believe. He tried to fix the gap/seam bug when AW3 was released (despite his
claim that it also happened in AW 2.2 because I NEVER noticed it before AW3)
by adding even smaller object movement increments, but that's a quick-fix
for a deeper bug: bad math. Incorrect floating point calculations also
account for jerky avatar turning and movement (the latter of which can be
easily noticed at high coordinates like in AlphaWorld).
school and learn it first --- PERIOD.
comprehension. Anyway, you KNOW what I mean by "60m²" so get the fuck over
it, Andras. So I don't put the damn parantheses around "60"--sue me. That
still doesn't negate the fact that Roland sucks at floating point
calculations.
