How does reformatting help? If the OS install was broken, wouldn't reinstalling be sufficient?

What I meant was formatting your hard-drive, which is done anyways when you re-install your OS. But you'll get my point.

That's what I was getting at. I usually DON'T reformat my hdd when reinstalling the OS. It's not necessary.
