    What to backup?

    Doing a complete system reinstall tonight as one drive on my RAID 0 array is failing so replacing the 2 160GB drives with one 250GB drive that I've been donated.
    Been a long time since I've done this so can people remind me what I need to backup off my C: drive?

    I've backed up my email database and all my Firefox bookmarks. Also copied over the entire of My Documents to an external drive. Got all my drivers and programs ready to be installed on the external drive too.

    Got my Windows XP SP3 Slipstreamed CD ready and readying myself for the call to India as its an OEM version.

    Soooo.. anything else?

      lets see... Pron, Music, Documents, and more Pron should probably be satisfactory.

          Everything like that. Vids, music, documents and the like are all kept on a seperate harddisk.
          Everything on my c: drive is mostly programs, settings and the like.

              All done. Got a lot of my proggies set back up along with settings and all emails/bookmarks brought back in. Still a little work to do, plus there will be a ton of regedits and things I have forgotten about but nice to have a zippy system again that doesn't crash explorer every time I do something or moan that a hard drive is about to die (even tho it had been saying that for a good 18 months)

                  All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible.

                          I won't be back until next Tuesday, so if Get Carter is the correct answer, I would appreciate of someone else posts a new cap for me
