What do you most often forget to backup when reinstalling an OS?

[Shawn]

Well I got a P4 3.06 with Hyperthreading and apparently HT doesn't work with Win2k so it looks like I'll be forced to finally go back to WinXP. I hate reinstalling an OS though cause there is always something I forget to back up. I keep most of my data on other partitions but usually I forget to backup my e-mail or favorites. Anything else I might miss? I always forget something!

hrm. Can't really think of anything I forget. However I always forget that I will have to call Microsoft to register my copy of XP and get pissed off every time I see that message, wait on the phone for some guy that doesn't understand english.

As with all valuable data it should be replicated in no less than 3 live locations, and backed up regularly.

Outlook e-mail, and that's something that could cause me huge trouble down the line.

Usually the files in My Documents > Received Files.

My bookmarks i back up every few days as i would die if i ever lost them.

 

[Chompman]

Bleh you make me sick.

Pr0n is the 1st thing anyone should back up and if they still have room then maybe some work/school data
