If its VMware, then it gets used once a week, and formatted many times that day.
Otherwise, my real machine gets its C: formatted once in 3 days. :P

Everytime a new nLite is released and when testing XPize....so maybe an average of once every 2 weeks. :)

About once every 2 or 3 months for my personal machine. Usually because it takes less time and does a better job than uninstalling software. :lol:

I do alot of testing in VMware which reduces the frequency of physical disc reformats.

I used to prathapml but then i discovered VMware so that gets used to test nlite and other stuff so it cut it down to about once every 2 weeks.
