    Need to reformat and reinstall XP, best way to do this??

    Yes a LLF (low level format {0's written to each sector of the HD or the first 8 gigs}) is nice however not mandatory. A Full format from windows xp boot cd usually fixes most problems. You can do this by getting the software from the manufacture of your hard drive. If you do this you can...

    XP and large drives

    You should have about 150 - 155 gig drive with gig conversion lost. The hd companies advertise 1GB as 1,000,000,000 bytes. But it really isnt.

    maxtor or western digital?

    I prefer Hitachi(IBM) Drives. But really isnt a huge deal. All companies have bad drives every once in a while. I have tried WD, Maxtor, and Hitachi(IBM). The IBM's are always faster though so I love em (xcept for that certain drive that goes by RAPTOR :rolleyes: ) Only thing about Hitachi's is...

    Brain... swelling... WHICH VIDEO CARD?!?!?!

    I would suggest getting the GF 4 Ti4600. This is a great card (I had bought the wonderful Visiontek back when they were making Nvidia cards). It was a Ti4400 that would OC faster than the Ti4600. This was a great card. But I was able to sell my whole rdram setup and get a new system with a...

    Keeping a healthy hard drive

    I'm not even sure but i remember reading somewhere that low-level formats (writing zero's to hard drive) is a healthy choice. And as for company's telling u to run a hard drive no more than a certain period....that would be hitatchi/IBM on the 120 - 180GXP's. What's really weird is the fact that...

No problems/noises. My friend leaves his pc on all the time and he wonders why is hard drive goes out...
