    Why don't you just make a backup of your connect-content on an external hard drive, and then reinstall it from there? That saves you bandwidth and time.

    Why on earth do you keep wiping your HD in the first place?

    ah, gotcha, just curious as I have only wiped a HD twice in all the time I have had PCs and it was for a new OS install..

    Personally, if I have to repartition, I shrink/grow.  This can be done with most 3rd party partitioning programs/Linux distros (with gparted)...if it works, then it's a lot less time than reinstalling.  If it doesn't it's only a few minutes wasted...because a full reinstall is going to take hours, no matter how you slice it.

    I've handled it this way in the past, booting from a Live CD
