What to know before formatting and clean installing?
Is there anything that you should know before you format your drive/partition for a clean install? These are some of the main things you should do to avoid disappointment:
- Back Up important programs/files on the Win7 Partition/Drive
- Back Up themes/wallpapers/gadgets etc..
- Back Up all bookmarks add-ons from firefox/i.e etc..
- Download the latest graphics drivers or any other drivers that are necessary and store them on usb drive
Useful Programs:
- EasyBCD: Is a great tool for editing the Boot manager
- EASEUS Partition Master Home Edition: Great Partition manager for creating/editing partitions (if you don't like the vista/Windows 7 disk utility)
- MozBackup: To backup all your firefox add-ons/bookmarks etc..
- ImgBurn: Simple easy to use burning tool (to burn the iso image)
Is there anything else that could be added to the list? Just post them here and I'll add them. I figured if we could get a few people posting Hints/Tips here it may be helpful to others in this situation.
