Is formatting good/bad?

AS what the title says..



IS there any effects once you reformat your PC/laptop??

'cause i have formatted my notebook twice in a day... errrrrrrr

NO, there's no lasting effect. Your CPU/Video card have no idea what the data they are handling is, whether it's running a program, gaming, whatever, or formatting.

you mean there is no problem with formatting???

Nothing at all to worry about.. unless there was some data on the drive you forgot to backup!

No problem, it's just normal stuff as far as the computer is concerned.

Well, it is more intense usage compared to, say, cruzing the internets, or editing a Word document. I'd imagine that if your computer was good for 10 years and you did nothing but format it contunuously it might last only 9 years, but then there a lot of other stuff that you do normally that is that intensive too. Don't worry about it.
