wingzero2309 Posted August 8, 2008 CID Share Posted August 8, 2008 If you have all the service packs and windows updates and everything on the nlited disc...my guess would be 3ish hours (assuming you restart the comp after those installations that tell you "u must restart your computer") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark06 Posted August 8, 2008 CID Share Posted August 8, 2008 Depeenda a little on computer speed and Cd driver speed but I would set aside 3 hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coknuck Posted August 8, 2008 CID Share Posted August 8, 2008 It took about 3 hrs to run Boot & Nuke before reformatting. I know one thing tho it was a clean install. Plus I don't do the Quick Format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x_6985381 Posted August 8, 2008 CID Share Posted August 8, 2008 I've gotten my reinstall without drivers under 1 hour - 40x DVD-RW. Reinstalled to many times now, I just not what to do to reinstall. But with everything installed excluding games, under 3 hours also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
