Recently I was working with my computer and suddenly it started acting strangely and became ultra slow (You know that how much effect software installation and un-installation makes!). I thought, that instead of fixing it up and spending some time with it it’s better that I’ll re-format the whole system (it was long due).
I made the necessary backups and started the process and here how it goes….
1. Formatted the C drive (I only keep windows and programs, no data).
2. Loaded the windows.
3. Installed all the drivers.
4. Installed all the software (around 30 software).
5. Updated the Windows.
6. Updated the software & the definitions.
and by the time I was over with these 6 steps, I’d wasted around 5 hrs. working continuously. Then I realized that how important it is to install a hard disk cloning software. I installed a hard disk cloning software and then just to test it, I restored my computer and Voila! I was able to do it in just 30 min. with all the settings, updated windows, programs and everything was intact as it is.
Now, I will not worry about anything because I know that I just have to spend 30 min and I’ll be done with the windows installation.

I think I’ll need to use this one, my system is having problems lately with viruses. I have been installing Windows 4-5 times in the past month.
