I did a fresh install win7 updated the OS and installed most of the programs I use all the time.Then I used acronis to back the entire image to DVD.I haven't had to use it yet.You can never be too safe.I also keep a backup using the win7 built in tool in case for any reason the acronis fails.Last resort is just reinstall win7 and spend a couple hours updating and re downloading and installing.Good luck I know for me installing windows and getting it back to where I want it to be is always a pain.I have a separate hard drive I put anything I want to keep on files wise not programs.I try and not clutter the OS install hard drive.
