Guys, ganito ba ang tamang pag clean install? http://pcsupport.about.com/od/operatingsystems/ss/windows-7-clean-install-part-1.htm
Tsaka ano benefits kapag may more than 1 partition ka? Ano ang advisable, isa lang o more than 1?
bro clean install of Windows just means you remove the previous Windows then you install a fresh one. if the system you are installing to doesn't have Windows, then it is already a clean install. if the system has one, just delete the partition with the Windows installation then install a new one, that's already a clean install. unfortunately one downside of this is that you will have to install all of your programs and drivers.
personally I do a clean install of Windows yearly since junk accumulates in the system. after a fresh install, the system will feel faster and more responsive.
regarding partitions, it is very important to have at least 2 partitions if you want to organize your system. I would at least suggest one partition dedicated to Windows, then install all your programs on this partition, then another partition for your data. place all your documents and pictures and movies and audio files here. when you format the Windows partition to make a clean install, the other partition is untouched. so your data files are safe. if you have Windows 7, I would suggest at least 40GB for that partition.
a partition is just a method of "fooling" your system that you have multiple drives within a single physical drive. the system treats a partition as a separate drive. this is useful for organizing your system. you can make separate partitions for the swap file, data, and however which way you want.
