Good info, thanks much!
I am going to burn all "My Documents" and important Setup files to disc..
I just remembered another issue.. I use Comcast for cable Internet access, and when I got the starter/setup kit, it had software to install the "interface." I think I have since lost the software CD, and was wondering if it might be available online?
If not, I guess I will have to go to Comcast and see if I can get another disc..
Also, one more question.. I was reading a FAQ/walkthrough about formatting, and the poster suggested that I should unplug everything (modem, accessories, etc.) and just leave the drives and other vital pieces of hardware plugged in.. Is this required? I ask because I am not too "savvy" and don't really look forward to taking apart the inside of my PC and then trying to put it back together properly.. So I'm wondering if you can do a re-format without unplugging the "accessory" hardware?
Again, many thanks. The things I am probably going to miss the most is my MP3s, but after going through them, I realized I have many of them on CDs (I ripped them), and also that I really don't listen to many of them anymore anyway.. So I will likely use a few CDs to store my "top" albums and say goodbye to the others.
