http://live.pirillo.com/ - When we talk about reformatting a hard drive, we're often talking about removing all of the data on the hard drive and reinstalling the operating system from scratch.
It used to be a common solution for technicians to reinstall the operating system when all else failed, and power users used to reinstall operating systems just to improve system performance.
Today, however, it's a different story. Since we're in an age where people keep all of their documents on their computers, we need to keep in mind that formatting a drive and reinstalling the operating system could be very destructive to their lives.
Should you reformat your drive and reinstall the operating system on a regular basis? Probably not: the only time you should have to reinstall the operating system is in the event of a catastrophic failure of the system (and even then, it's possible you don't need a complete reinstall).
What do you think? Should you regularly format your hard drive and reinstall your operating system?
