Title: Stuff to back up before a fresh install of XP???
Post by: ParaSitius on August 13, 2006, 05:48:36 PM

As the topic suggests I'm planning on doing a format and fresh install of XP Pro and don't want to go through the usual "oh crap, forgot to back <something> up... argggh".

So far I've used the Files & Settings wizard to backup my Docs (anyone actually used it and does it work?), got the latest working set of gfx drivers, copied my Firefox profile and also my Outlook folder.

Just trying to think if there is anything else I should save first.

Any suggestions?

Ta in advance.

If you have more partitions or HD`s, with games on, you could backup the individual reg keys, thats what I do saves me reinstalling them all again. Other than that you have backed up everything I would. Never used files and settings, I do it manually.
