I want to do a fresh install but don't want to lose everything in the processes. How do I ensure that I backed-up everything but windows?

Edit:I am using Nero 7 Ultra Back-it-up.

Don't back up your \Windows or \i386 directories. When you reinstall, use a different user name, like Windows_User. Burn everything else as-is, splitting among DVDs if necessary.

-Do you believe you own your computer and shouldn't be told what you can run and do? Then say *NO* to Microsoft Vista!
-Since half the questions here involve media problems, here ya go: Only use Verbatim or Taiyo-Yuden discs (get your TYs from Rima.com, not Supermediastore or meritline). Forget the rest, no matter what "brand" they sell under. Always burn at 4x speed regardless of the speed rating of this discs or your drive. If you have burn problems with these then you have to update your drive's firmware. For double-layer discs, only use Verbatim DVD+R DL and burn them at 2.4x speed.
