    I have had to do so twice this year, due to screw up with drivers in XP. On both attempts to replace the needed drivers the restore function locked up. Oh joy.

    I usually just clean up unneccesary junk, run it through the Disk Cleanup, Scan Disk, then Defragment. I Defragment as often as possible, because 1. It is good for the computer (I think), and 2. It is fun to watch the little blue and red and green blocks whizzing by.

    Whenever it needs doing. I've had to do it at least 5 times last year (gotta get used to saying that) due to changes in OS or Windows totally screwing up beyond repair
