Custom Install = Saved Personal Files?

Hi,
I need to reinstall Windows 7 Ultimate over my current Windows 7 Ultimate installation due to an unfixable boot error (blue screen). I cannot access Windows to perform an upgrade (which keeps files and programs), so I'd like to know; if I perform a custom install from the DVD, will my personal files (videos, music etc..) be saved in the Windows.old folder?

Thanks.

Yes, see method 2 in this tut.
