Don't mind about it my friend. Don't be abuse your computer, by always reformatting it. It is not good to reformat your hard drive always. The possibility is that the speed is become slower. That what I experience in my years of being a technicians...

i have never though about formatting my computer, only when there are times when it really needs to be cleared i do it, i have formatted my computer 3 times in a month and after that i haven't done further. but i think when the computer gets really slow people often format their computer once in a year.

I only reformat my harddisk if it has been infected with a virus that cannot be healed or deleted by my antivirus software since it is very tedious if you I will backup all of my files especially my movie and music files. I only defrag my discs once in awhile and do disc cleanup to free up some unnecessary file space from my computer.

well!! nobody wants to format his or her system more often we use to format our system when it is running low on memory and especially because of Viruses. I recently format my system because windows did'nt copying files to my flash drive and when I wants my task bar a widow appears that your administrator has blocked you task bar.

When i first knew how to format the computer, it was a kinda fun to me. I used to think formatting many times i can make my pc faster....lol. But i was very wrong. I always used to suggest people to format the computer before. And once i was scolded for formatting computer unnecessarily. Since then i didn't format the computer unnecessarily until its important. Though Formatting computer once in 4-5 months is normal in my computer..

I have been using my laptop for more than a year already and have not reformatted it yet. I think there are times when you really not have reformat. That is if your computer is really taken care of. Reformatting is really not needed. Like in my case, I do not experience serious problems with my Linux OS.

I format my computer zero times in a year because i have downloaded movies and i do not want to download them again because i will waste more electricity and i do not want to do that because i am not the one who pays the electricity its my mother.

I don't think formatting hard drive is a scheduled task. I never put it in my computing task. The only reason i would do formatting my system is when i found my system is totally wrong. When it occurs, we need a fresh installation to our system. And before doing the installation, we need to formatting our hard drive first. Have a nice day and happy mylotting.
