Im backing up my PC then ready for the weekend.
Just trying to make sure i dont forget anything!

Ive done the usual bookmarks and e-mails.
All my docs are on my other 2 drives.
Anything else ive forgotten?

One tip i do is to take a screen shot of the programs list i have so i can look back at the programs i has installed. :)

take the plunge and format it already - anything you forgot can't be that important and I'm sure you can download/install it again anyway...

If you've got savegames for anything you care about - don't be forgetting them!

yeah, it can go wrong, just make sure you perform a FULL format. You should also try nlite and load all the latest drivers for your hardware onto an unattended installation of windows. Also lets you customize your services etc. Saves you a hell of a lot of time having to restart to install your drivers etc. You can also preinstall software like firefox :D

XP/2003 install - http://www.nliteos.com

Vista - http://www.vlite.net
