Re: Will you buy Vista or stay with XP?
If you have a second hard drive, it's pretty easy to copy all the files. You only need to back up things like music, movies, documents, emails, ect. If you don't have another hard drive you can just go the DVD route...but if you have some 300~400gigs of music like myself, that's a pain.
As far as settings go, there's no real easy way to go about doing that. You can import bookmarks real easy with firefox. And make sure you have all the drivers you need before you reinstall anything.
If you have any super critical settings, like Network stuff, write it down. More oft than not, I find the only difficulty I have is settting up my networks and ISP settings. But computers are pretty smart these days.
Formating sucks. I can't wait for blu-ray when I can dump 20gigs of info on a disc.
