I recently booted up my semi-old maybe 4 year old computer, it took forever to boot up. I brought out the windows ME cd that came with it, and deleted the old partition then formated a new one. as i write this message windows ME is still installing and its been 6 hours......
What im getting at is that this computer use to be very fast, i use to edit videos with it and never had slowdowns with it. If i deleted everything on the drive, and "DBAN" it, would it make everything faster, or would it take just as long to reinstall windows again.
Edit: sorry i typed in that title trying to hurry up and was planning on changing it before i posted this. Sorry for the bad title.
