I just reformated my hard drive. And no, it wasn't on accident.

Anyway, I'm getting a new graphics card as a late birthday present. Radeon X1800 XT 512mb

It's not out yet though

Lucky bastard.

In one of my PC magazines, they were talking about an upcoming nVidia card with 512mb, and it supports SLi!! 1gb of dedicated video memory!! I would kill for a rig with that setup.

ATI started supporting SLI also, the X1800 is going to have a SLI version. It comes out Nov. 5th I think.

It's not exactly SLi, it's "Crossfire" and it uses a DVI pass-thru instead of the little internal SLi chip that nVidia uses.

what is Dos

He should have FDisked his hardrive. Going into dos. Choose the hardrive. Type in fdisk. Delete your partition. Create a new one. And just install windows. Peice o' Cake. Dos is a add' on with the computer. It allows you to get deep inside your computer. But if you mess up. You may damage your hardrive. Thats why i have to do it for my family.

Or use Knoppix with QTParted, or used the Windows Restore utility. There's alot of ways to format a hard drive. Although with Knoppix he couldn't use the NTFS file system.

Windows restore doesnt really format a hardrive. It erases all files instead of system files. I use it when a virus gets in my computer.
