[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1533822, member: 56379"] I'm going to pull a number out of the air...let's say every 100 years!;) Honestly...we usually don't recommend doing complete HD wipes with Mac's. At least not as a regular maintenance practice. Occasionally someone may need to do a complete HD wipe if EVERYTHING else tried fails (when there's a problem)...otherwise...complete wipes are not used as a regular maintenance practice. If a computer seems to have slowed down...it's usually because: - the HD is too full - the HD is going bad/dying - HD maintenance using a program like "Onyx" hasn't been used - or the slowdown issue has nothing to do with the HD or the OS install * Nick [/QUOTE]
