I never formatted my hard disk coz there are a gbsss of softwares and songs so i cant back up them

my last format was on 25-August-2005

After I started using Acronis True Image, I never felt any need to format my HDD.

I don't use the raw format command unless I badly need it.

I have used Drive Image2002 to create a image of my C: Drive. I created the image after installing all the software drivers etc, So the time when I feel my C: Drive is full of crap...I simply restore it from the image I have made ,stored in my Backup Partition(BTW I have made CD's of the image too just for backup) .So the system becomes as good as new....Also saves the time of Installin windows from scratch....The image gets restored say within 7mins...must faster then a scratch install

nice.... really nice.. i mean it
