Sounds like you fast formatted...I'm old schooling it to clean them this time.

93% formatted

i cant believe this. it sounds like, for the first time in his life, Boost my have to get out and push.

setting regional settings

if i were you, i would get a 36gb raptor for your os install, and store all your important files on your raided drives IMO. you'll have a much faster boot and faster formating if you ever need to do another reinstall.

nah, once everything installed again, make a ghost copy. the next install will be quick and include the full format if you restore from image to partition.

yeah but having a raptor is like having a SSEi, have you ever heard one of them spin?

LOL - I'm sitting 15ft from an IBM shark filled with 15k drives...
I can't hear the 3 huge airconditions we have here.

nice

fudge..it seems to want to call my boot drive e
