My conf:
----------------------------------------------------
AMD-64 3000+ (939 socket)
MSI RS480M2-IL motherboard.
512 MB - Single DDR Transend RAM 400 FSB (PC 3200)
80GB - Seagate SATA Hard disk
OS- Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2
---------------------------------------------------------------------
I have bought a new system with above config.

Till now with in one month, I formated my Hard Disk upto 5 times.
Because i have poblems with XP and Service packs. Now only i got good XP.

I did the following things, pls tell me is it good or not?
I installed XP prof. with SP2(Ver.2149)
After that I removed SP2 old only(not format my HD) and I installed latest SP2(Network Installation Package for IT Professionals and Developers)

My question is,
Is there any chances to damege the windows XP now?
Can i continue with this, or I have to format my C: drive and install need fresh XP and SP2

And my next question is,
How many times we can format our new Hard Disk....?

Please tell some suggestions...

Well bro...nothing in this world can be Fullproof ..so what you can do is Keep on making Restore points..thus is some thing goes wrong..you can always restore to previous time......also if u have a bigger HDD..which u do..make a image of your Fresh Error free Installation of XP using some image softs Like Norton Ghost etc..and save it to other Place...so that you can go back with out formating......

also there is no certain Rule about formating..you can format your HDD as many times as you can..only the thing is its not Advised to format your system too often.....tell you what till date i must have formated my HDD least 100/120 times.....so its not a big deal........

any other Problem ???
