Seems like we are talking about 2 different things.
I wouldn't suggest anything but a quick format. You don't get any additional performance by doing a long format. You setup the quick format during the installation of Windows XP.
The quick format takes less than 1 minute.
The reinstall of the OS takes about 30-40 minutes...Depending upon the speed of your computer.
the other couple of hours is the time it takes to reinstall all of your other software.
