Hi there!! I can reformat and maintain my own computer, infact, im the one do assemble my machine. I bought parts by parts from different store. When i feel my computer running slow, i will reformat it immediately. I always forgot to make back up to easily restore the OS once i encountered a problem. I love collecting OS and i burn it either DVD or CD depends on the capacity. How about you guys, do you know how to reformat and maintain your own computer? or you as for service? Kindly share your comments.. Have a nice day!!! Happy mylotting...

yes, it's actually the easiest way to fix a problematic OS.. hardware, i can manage...but i usually go to a service center when the defective unit is the motherboard or the processor..else i can do it on my own..

Oh, you (and all who replied with a YES) are admirable! I wish I could. I am not at all at your level with electronics. I have had many things go wrong with my computer, or slow down, and I always have to ask or hire somebody to work on it, which is so much trouble, so know that I don't do it enough. Guys who answered YES, where did you learn??

You are kind to say that to me. It does sound like you did a lot to learn- from your friend helping you, reading tutorials, even watching videos! IMpressive. I would wish i could do that, but I don't think I'd have the attention and patience to learn all of that, along with time! I'd be also afraid I'd kill my computer and files. But that's what we are thankful for- having people liek you who we can hire or ask for advice. :O0

I know very little. I can defrag and do the basic stuff but not the more technical issues. I just keep my anti virus running properly and defrag on a scheduled basis and that has served me well.

i am very experienced in troubleshooting any kind of problem hardware of software. And let me tell you reformatting is not the way to solve a problem, it is a way to avoid dealing with it.

Well, if the hardware is the problem, yes, this is not the way to solve by reformatting our computer. Reformatting can solve OS problem. Thanks for the response.
