fRACTAL 0 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 (edited) Well people I need to reinstall windows XP (again, if you can remember my past with reinstalling XP you may have some clue how irksome I find it) Anyway to get to the point, I'm backing up everything I can think on my external hard drive and making lists detailing what I'll need to reinstall. So far I've: Backed up saved games Pictures Music My documents game mods. Program skins for rocketdock and CD art Display Fonts Can you think of anything I've missed and suggest anything else I should consider copying? Thanks Edited November 16, 2009 by fRACTAL Link to comment

locolagarto 15 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Save all the porn, don't want too lose that! LOL just kidding you would never do that Link to comment
fRACTAL 0 Posted November 16, 2009 Author Share Posted November 16, 2009 Configuration files? Good point, I grabbed my application data but where would my various config files probably live, not game ones but stuff like Azureus? revoke any cdkeys that use securom? Unfortunately I have some of these, but that gets revoked by default if you uninstall the game right? Link to comment

Antitrust 32 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Cookies perhaps, it's a PITA to recover all those passwords... Everyone requires some sort of registration these days... I want to move my mouse cursor, "Sign Up for moving the mouse cursor please"... Link to comment
Schot 406 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 All drivers you'll need on the new platform! Hopefully Win 7 will get most of the drivers automatically but getting the important drivers before hand sure makes things a lot easier. A Firefox Profile Backup Good luck! Link to comment
Genenut 8 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 If you added anything to your paint type program like new textures, effects etc... that should get backed up too. Also I know PSP has its own work folder for stuff you are working on, a default save folder within its directory... should back that up too. Save all your bookmarks too! And your network config! (you will always need the gateway ip when you havent written it down and cant remember it *lol*) Link to comment
