Drag the list from your inbox into a folder. That's what I did. I have no idea where the originals are.

Isn't there an "Export to a file" function like in Outlook? I believe that takes care of everything you've got in it.

And don't keep My Documents on C:\. I always move it to make sure I don't forget it when I format so I don't loose my savegames.. Done that far too many times :icon32:

It's an option, under a menu. That's all I'll say.

Don't know if you're counting these in downloads but, update files and drivers?

yea, my Downloads folder contains all my "legal" downloads, including game patches, programs, system utilites and drivers, etc.

I thought about it, but I decided not to backup my cookies since there might be some bad ones in the batch.

i just had to reformat a friend's computer after she ran into some less-than-kosher websites :icon21:

You know what you could have done? Installed you new drive and just set your old one as a slave...My mp3 folder hasn't been off a hard drive since I created it in 98.

I get all my stuff from one site anyway. It's a forum like this and they just post passwords and usernames for sites all over all the time and post pics from sites you have to pay to enter all the time. great forum.

uhh everybody uses different programs on their computers and have different files that are important to them dude, nobody can really tell you what you need to upload

My new drive is a lot faster (16mb buffer vs 2mb) so as I installed it, I created 2 partitions, one for windows/apps and one for storage. I backed up all the shit from the old hard drive onto the "Storage partition" then I removed the old hdd and installed windows onto the new one. I'm gonna pop the old one into my old 416mhz Celeron machine and see if it works.
