got a portable drive you can image it too? in case you have stored something somewhere odd?

My Documents (which should inc My Pics/Music etc)
Email msgs and contacts
Browser Favourites
Accounts data (these tend to store in odd areas)
Note of all web passwords etc

cant think of others, but go down root directory in case

I have about 130GB free on a physically seperate drive.  PC has 320GB on two seperate drives.

Was thinking of doing a ghost image but would this not also copy existing errors when reinstalling?

dont reinstall from the ghost - its just a fallback should you forget something.  Ghost has Ghostexplorer - a utility to extract single files from image.
