Anyone?

[Game_Freak]

WOW! That tutorial is huge! Cant you just tell me what to do? I have two computers so I can look at instructions from one fix the other!!

[OwNt]

I don't think it's popular enough for an *official* tutorial. I read the users guide and it looks like taht explains it as good as a tutorial would anyway. There's not exactly that much to overwriting data/reformatting. Why you wish to do so I don't understand.

[Game_Freak]

Oh Thanks. Read my other topic you will get it! And how long would this take? I dont want to stuck with this for long!

[OwNt]

Depending on how many times it writes over the file system over again, it could take a very long time.

6 hours, 7 hours approx how long for a really good cleanup?

[OwNt]

If you really want to reformat, you won't need to overwite the data unless your trying to hide it from data recovery programs for some reason. Unless you have a boot sector virus your trying to shake, (this wouldn't work for that anyway,) You can just do a quick format. Like Format C: /Q /FS:NTFS

[Game_Freak]

Oh ok. How do I do this quick format? But approx how long would a normal XP reinstalltion take and also how long would killdisk take approx?

A normal xp installation on my computer takes about 9 minutes, your will probbaly be much longer. killdisk would take hours to days depending on how many times it overwrites the hard drive, and to what degree.
