Welcome back Baltekmi!
I do have to ask though, sorry for being a meanie, but why exactly is that in the overclocking thread? :P
IM: I wait until I have a product in use and working, fully tested before I give feedback, that sometimes means up to 3 or 4 days after an item arrives - he may be doing the same.

I think Baltekmi has a boot sector virus. He formated the drive and installed XP-Pro on it and it wouldn't allow him to install his programs because he can't get rid of the old registry, which shows the programs already installed. You can re-format and re-install XP and it keeps coming back. I've had 2 like that in the last two weeks and the only cure was to completely wipe the drive with Acronis Disk Cleanser or Killdisk and start over!

see, i didnt know the background....he posted about formatting so i thought that he didnt know how to do a basic format....had no idea it was this bad....

osrry imran, but you can recor data so easily with just a normal format.
i have erased many HDDs with that, and then used a recovery tool and got everything back.
your best bet would to take a hammer to the HDD. IF not, THEN, use this:
http://dban.sourceforge.net/
burn an ISO, and only connect up the HDD u want to erasse, and restart with the CD, and set to book from CD, and then nuke all HDDs that are connected

see...i never sold a hard drive, i only buy or open them up when they die.....never really had a working hard drive that was sitting out of a computer
nice piece of software you got there! i am sure it will come in handy in the future
thanks,

Put your camera to SCN mode with the little wheel thing, and then use the arrow keys to go to the Flower icon. It's usually called Macro mode, but Kodak is retarded and doesn't call it that.

your best bet would to take a hammer to the HDD. IF not, THEN, use this:
Reformatting a hard drive (high level remormat) doesn't erase all the info just its references. A knowledgeable person can actually recover much of the data a fact that hasn't escaped the RIAA.;D In some instances the information has to be completely shredded to incoherency before it is truly unrecoverable. The best bet is to do a low level reformat which returns the hard drive to its pre-formatted state and also erases information.

thanks, i will try that
in other news....3.4ghz is very stable and it is going to be my 24/7 speed
i am very happy with this overclock (340 x 10)
really, who needs a 3.6ghz or 4ghz quad core anyways? i think i can achieve those speeds with my current setup but it would require me to up the voltages on everything a little too much...might even kill my hardware which i don't want...cant afford at the moment (saving up for a car)
this is faster than the fastest quad so the basic theory of overclocking is already achieved (to pay less money for the highest available CPU of the same class...at least this is my theory...)
thank you to everyone who helped me achieve this, especially Sophocles who kept me from giving up
thank you!,

But baltekmi who had the problem and asked the question might! He had a reformatting issue that involved the possibility of a retained virus. Just reformatting a Hard drive using high level format is not enough to clean a hard drive and certainly not enough to clean and infected one. A low level format results in hysteresis which reverts the hard drive to its pre-purchase state, and good enough to wipe out a nasty virus.

that statement is true to some degree as it is faster than the fastest stock quad core. how many ppl do you think are going to run a stock cpu in this thread? :)
3.4ghz is about where I will start out when I go to OC my Q9450. we can compare some benchy's when I get there. I'm going to eventually shoot for 3.6ghz or a little higher. I won't get my Q9450 until monday and won't have time to put it in until wednesday. It'll stay at stock 2.66ghz for a while.
in regards to reformatting a hdd, I always run killdisc at least once.

It is faster than the fastest quad core on two cores overclocked because it will always have a 200 MHz advantage. A quad core only has an advantage when it runs true quad threads at once.
Mort
I say go for the quad core, in the long run it will prove the most future proof. I just don't do anything in computers for the long run, and especially with you guys around. LOL

you got it!
but the first release of nehalem, bloomfield, will be quad core with hyper threading.....
my next upgrade would be an octo core with hyper threading! lol, 16 cpus in the task manager!!!

well if you think of it that way....you can always get a qx9650 and overclock it to 4ghz.....but is it worth the 1200 bucks? no
i started out with wanting only 3ghz but ended up with 3.4ghz on a motherboard ppl say sux for overclocking quads so i think i did well for myself
also, i am not a hardcore overclocker so i dont really know how to overclock things well....maybe with the same exact setup i have, you may be able to get higher clocks...

lol
the starting price would be sooo high and DDR3 doesnt seem like its coming down in price any time soon......and an x58 mobo wouldnt be the most economical money wise either!
i am going to upgrade in June/July 2009 to Nehalem....by then a whole nehalem setup w/o gpu should run less than 600 bucks (ram + mobo + midrange CPU)....wouldnt you say?
now that would be the time to upgrade
in Q4, arent only the server parts being released anyways? so no Bloomfield core...

Let's see what happens, but I suspect the transition should be pretty painless as far as processor costs goes, no more than when Conroe came. We will all of course have to transition to DDR3, but hasn't that long been a step overdue?

About the HDD thing. So if a format doesn't erase everything, so do you have less space on your HDD after a few formats, then you did new?

No, the space becomes reallocated as free space.

So while you can recover the data, it just gets written over when you start using it?
