ok i have 2x 200 gb seagate hard drives , one is a back up of everything and the other is the main one i use. no problems there, however when i had my av8 board they use via chipset instead of nvidia so when reinstalling windows i clicked repair windows , this was done on my backup hdd , and it worked so then i used a program called casper to transfer all of my stuff back onto the backup from the main hard drive, (still with me?) now is there a way in which i can completely reinstall windows without transfering bad sectors or old stuff left over from the abit board? another option (the option i want to do) is for me to buy a 200gb samsung spinpoint and then transfer games , music , etc but not windows . this way my system will be v quick i hope? argh wat shall i do or should i format my 200gb hard drive fresh install, then partiton windows on it then from the back up hdd move music games etc across to the 200gb? _________________
