I'm gonna be a little bored doing this as i have prep work before hand i kept putting off.

Anyway this here is an annoucement thread.

Steam back-up: 3/21 DVD's completed
General file back up: Files Need Saving.

Also i dunno where my Office is so im considering this to be a good time to buy that office 2007 version from student offers thoughs on this?

.. it's all saved in windows.old

Windows 7 is pretty good. Been using it for a while now.

well im doing complete re-install by the way and i was shopping so as of now only disc 5/21

Best way to do it

always a good idea to spring clean windows anyway :p

very true also disc 9/21 god damn internet failures means my discs are taking super long.

Heh, I just copy my steamapps folder to a backup drive, much easier

15/21 plus i dont have a spare hardrive or external so im left to this way.

welcome back friends, lovers, concerned ones and psychologists. Today i am currently on disc 19/21 and already scanning my files by hand as to single out everything i am backing up.

sadly i need to find my motherboard drivers thats so far the one thing i HAVE NOT found.

Ok posting from a nice new windows 7 PC. Tiem to install all my stuffs back on

Motherboard drivers shouldn't be an issue, I rarely install mine.

well all installed except oh yeah, steam games >.< seems i burned them wrong now its a long hard road to unloading them.....

What do you mean, burned them wrong?

You can't run the backup installer from the disks, you must copy them to your hard drive and run them from there.

omfg I just posted this is another thread now to see you posted this earlier. -.-

I also told him over Steam, but apparently it went wrong.

Yeah, it went wrong, so he started a proper thread on fixing it.
