hi, i was wondering what are the pros and cons of using a restore disk or formatting.

thanx
 
depends what restore disk you are talking about. If it about a proprietary (dell,gateway,compaq..etc etc..) restore disk, definately reformat and put on a clean copy of the OS. This is because you will end up with alot of outdated senseless programs you don't use anyways.

The best restore disk is one you make using a program like GHOST or Drive Copy after a nice fresh install and all drivers are installed.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?
