Every year. but my linux machine never need's reinstalling.
i have a tri-boot and have had to reinstall all of them at least once, windows 98 twice because windows xp is retarded enough to fuck up another microsoft os :ugh:

I reinstall whenever I get >10GB of stuff I cannot account for.

 

Such as my documents+C:\downloads+program files =15 GB, but I'm using 30GB of space, wtf! Reinstall time.

well i was joking about having the FBI after me

sooo

uh

SHREDDER IF YOU ACTUALLY NEED TO GET RID OF ANYTHING BAD

 

:O

There's programs on sourceforge to 0 out hard drives, took about 5 hours to run on my 280GB system, but God himself couldn't recover anything from those drives.
Yes he could. FBI's recovery methods can beat open source erasers. The only way to make data off a HDD truly unrecoverable is to destroy it
It's worth the legit copy to never have to reinstall

 

Why? Does having a pirate version mean constant reinstalls?

when shit fucks up i reinstall wheres the option for that

 

That's about right for me. Shit fucks up every year and a half or so, though, so I chose that option.

I have a question

 

I have only reformatted once before and I remember having troubles getting back online after i was done with it all. i know i need the windows drivers disc but does anyone know exactly which drivers i need to install for a basic cable broadband connection?

When data is erased, data is erased. The FBI do not have powers to go back in time. This is true.

ive only reinstalled once and ive had my computer for 3 years =X

 

but im going to after im done backing up all my files.

Voted every week just for the lulz and because I never reinstall windows because I have no reason. :nigga:
