I love Windows.
Joking, it's a piece of fucking shit.
I got an infinte number of BSOD's this morning, rang the help line, and was told I needed to reinstall windows... Meaning... I lost everything!! Woo!! How can you not love windows? Need to reinstall ALL my games, that's like.. 50GB+ on a 1.5MB/s connection. RO, firefox, iTunes, Spotify, Mumble, EVERYTHING. I am not a happy bunny today.

Ive had to do the same 3 or 4 times on my old PC back when it was breaking down every other month. My internet download speed sucks too, so it takes the best part of a day just to download RO without taking into account the several hours for resources.
Nowadays I have any large download copied to a disk just in case

Before you format C.
Boot up with a linux live distro and salvage what you can from your windows partitions on an external HD.

happy 10h downloading then (if thats 1.5Mb/s and not Mbit/s...). Hope you didnt loose any important data though.At least youll enjoy the smooth experience of a freshly-install windows for a while.
Well till tonight when youll have finished installing all that crap =P Z.
