Just this moment back in, done nowt more than earlier today.

Not really in the mood to do much with it tonight.  This evening, something may well find itself leaving via a window.  Just not decided yet whether its going to be animal, vegetable or mineral.....  

My laserjet printer left the room earlier.  The mains lead pulled out cleanly, but I'll be making a new cat5 lead .  Once I've fixed the printer that is....

Just to make sure I back up the important stuff like my files, folders, outlook info, my docs, photo's, music etc as well as net favourites, what else would be suggested to copy?

Last reinstall I did I ran the transfer documents & settings wizard onto another hard drive on my network, seemed to work quite well.
I think it works with an external drive if you have one availible

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 take the image only copy all of the files-folders sure there are important files on odd addresses as TheBoy said..

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