“Hey David, I want to reinstall my system, can you just format C drive and install Windows for me. Rest I will see what I can do” :)

If you do have lot of things to do as you have written in your comment, then they are too much work!

Actually its the reinstall that takes a lot of time here…the process of backing up the data (My Documents, My Music…), finding drivers, downloading drivers, testing the drivers (where I make an image back of the system just in case the drivers won’t work), installing the system, patching the system, restoring the data……I haven’t seen anyone that is able to sit down and go through the whole process with me..and I am not surprised that people will go crazy if they see how many hours of work this will take.

So unless they could help me, I got no reason not to charge them, I got sick and tired of this already.

You do a lot of work here , I know that. What I would suggest is, if you really feel that now its the time to earn money (of course you do ;) ), you can charge after certain level or based on work. Say, if your friend is asking just a reinstall, you could do, but if he asks for advanced configurations and other settings (like setting up wireless etc.,), you could charge him.

There is also saying – ‘Money will come today, will go one day, but unless its comes today, it will not go one day” ,lol. (I have literally translated from my native language)
