We all know that frequent reformatting of hard disk can cause damage. In fact every reformatting will shorten the life span of your hard disk.3-4 times maybe more is the longest, after that then your HD is not useable anymore. (question above)
This error usually occurs while using the Windows and the system immediately shuts down to prevent any further damage to the hardware accelerator. Sometimes, this error comes as a black screen and then you cannot even restart your device. So, there are two situations after the occurrence of this error-one allows you to start the windows normally and the other does not allow you to start it. Here is the solution for this problem in case of both the situations.
Back up your HDD and delet all your partitions and re -creat and new Operating CD-rom and CD Drive for solve this problem
Troubleshooting boot problems can be a very frustrating and challenging process. Sometimes their repair requires the Linux rescue environment, but what can be done if rescue media is not handy? If the system gets past BIOS and loads the GRUB boot loader, often there is much that can be done to get it up and running again.
Many of the features for installing Fedora Core or Red Hat Linux are described in detail inRed Hat Linux Bible.If you are not familiar with techniquesfor installing over the network, creating install servers, making boot floppies, doing kickstart installations, and other installation topics, you can find these andother installation topics covered inRed Hat Linux Bible.Information on doing kickstart installations is included in Chapter4.Failing to Start the Install ProcessThere are some cases where you don't even make it to theboot:prompt on the installation screen.
CD drive not found-It is possible that the installation process might be able to boot the CD from your IDE (ATAPI) CD drive, but not find the drive when it goes to install Fedora. To get around this problem, you can identify the CD drive fromthe installation boot prompt. For example, if your CD driverwere the slave drive on your first IDE controller,
Hardware not detected (or improperly detected)-The Anaconda installer does an amazingly good job of probing and identifying your computer's hardware. However, if you have reason to suspect that your hardware is not being properly identified, you can boot using thenoprobeoption.Before you start a noprobe install, you should know what hardware you have in your computer. If the drivers are not on the CD, you need to have the drivers you need available on floppy

I like the answers of using SSD
but what if you are using HDD or SSHD ?
here comes the system restore points , and I think you ask this question to be answered with System restore point or registry backup ( I hope )
there is something called shadow copy or snapshot at any server (It is a service called VSS)
this beautiful idea doesn't make backup of your hard disk sectors but it just save a backup of your settings , that mean if you install a new program this program will be saved at your hard and the operating system know where is the location of that program from a table contain a point to the program location , when we make a backup to setting ( system restore point ) we just delete the new point from that table , and that look like that there is no new program installed , so what is the difference that may make me use system restore point Instead of make a real backup or clone my hard ? the answer will be you must not use system restore point only but you must make a real backup at the same time , why ?
because of virus and malware that may destroy your sittings I mean the setting that you make system restore point for it , so if you make both backups you will use the first system restore point backup all the time if something wrong happens and that mean no reformatting of your sectors or hard disk and if virus or malware kill your partition and nothing will help you to make your hard work properly so you will use real backup
So the answer is make both backup( or incremental backup ) and system restore point - don't forget to use the right program for your backup ( I use Linux dd command )
If you are using a SSD, you are definitely shortening the lifespan. SSD drives have a finite write limit so the more writes you do, the quicker you burn out the drive. Still, if you have a good maker, it is mostly a theoretical limit. If you are using a cheap SSD, then it will cause issues at some point.
If you 'like' to format and reinstall, then think about using a disk imaging software such as Ghost, or install Windows7, create a system image, and then restore from backup, save yourself some headache
Why are you reformatting that often? It's not ideal to constantly reformat - perhaps you should invest some time into researching the problems, or downloading malwarebytes for protection.
If You are using SSD then you can do multiple formats without the worry of its life. Because SSD Has more life than the normal HD. Normally Hard Disks Rotate at a speed of 5600 rpm to7200 rpm at an average. As there are moving parts inside the HD case its life is shorter as there will be wear and tear. But SSD doesn't have any movable parts inside it and its life is more than any other disks. Hence there is no worry for you to worry about formatting it multiple times. This is the reason that now many are moving to SSD eventhough it is expensive.
reduce number of time you reformat, unless you have a strict data protection policy, you should not be reformatting a PC until it is decomissioned.
