wow, srajure, your computer seems really fast! The bar below the Windows XP logo scrolls faster than on my computer!

[srajure]

@mrgutchman , it has been fast forwarded to make the video short

[mrgutchman]

@srajure i used to think you were saying "total formatting"

[srajure]

@mrgutchman , yes I remember having seen such message during formatting

[mrgutchman]

@srajure so in other words if your computer is unable to do the quick formatting, it will do the regular (full) formatting. is it possible that after selecting the quick formatting that there will be a screen saying that it is unable to do the quick formatting?

[srajure]

@mrgutchman , yes

[mrgutchman]

@srajure what are you saying about the format at 3:29, srajure? Is it "if it can't do the quick formatting, it will go for a thorough formatting"?

[srajure]

@mrgutchman , you can avoid formatting if you have multiple partitions, you can go for quick formatting for the C drive to save time and then do a full formatting of the remaining partitions once the installation is complete. I usually adopted this approach during a reinstallation

@srajure I'm curious, srajure: why did you use the Quick Format when re-formatting both the hard drives for this video tutorial? I always use the full format.

@mrgutchman , yes. I am an Indian living in Poona, India.
