Re: can your windows
I am always trying new demo applications and games but never seem to erase them from my system. Every few months I just wipe my drive and start fresh. I keep all my important data on a separate hard drive and I have a disk image with Windows XP, drivers, and essential programs already installed. I just wipe the drive and write the disk image which doesn't even take as long as installing Window XP.darksmaster923 wrote:thats quite a bit of icons on your desktop.

Every few months you wipe your hard drive and install an image of it? That might be causing an excess amount of wear on the drive and shorten its lifespan. I don't know by how much, but the more you read/write from a drive, the shorter its lifespan. Doing that much data so regularly might really kill the drive before it would have normally died under "normal" use. Just letting you know incase you didn't already.
Think outside the box.

Re: can your windows
I have been doing it for about 3 years now and the drive hasn't failed yet. And if it does I won't lose any of my data because that is stored on a separate drive which I back up regularly. I don't think installing a drive image would cause anymore stress on a drive than watching a long movie or playing a game that has a lot of long load screens. The writing of the image to the drive is just like writing a large file to the drive.That might be causing an excess amount of wear on the drive and shorten its lifespan.
