As far as I'm aware the harddrive is a standard IDE device. I only started getting the blue screen of death after the botched windows install.
I'm tempted to go for the deepest level of format I can find, I would rather be positive that the drive is completely fresh. As I'll always be wondering after the install whether any crash is due to not cleaning the drive thoroughly.
Would a memory check establish any problems with the memory or would I have to do the swapping around?
Thanks guys, I'll let you know how things go.

I've just been looking at some hard drives, out of curiousity does a larger cache make a significant diference, most have a 2Mb cache but I've seen some with 8Mb. Does it really increase performance that much?
