Nothing stopping him doing a FULL format, he'll die of old age before it finishes thats all 
Yes, but not because the formatting needs so long but because he ends up in an endless loop. Fully formatting partitions above the 4GB border without the latest Format program will destroy the partition table, so he has to start from scratch again. And if he does not stop doing FULL formatting, he will do it again and again and again until infinity.
when I install OS 3.1 and try to intsall OS
3.9 it says it needs 20 MB to install OS3.9 while
you have only ""Kbytes free. And the computer resrart
again!!!!!
The boot partition should be smaller than 2GB. Everything above 2GB will give you such strange messages.
