Posted a week ago with issues, since then I backed up my music, files and settings easily to an external HDD, and performed a clean install. It all worked fine, was so quick, and my old stuff was on the computer under 'windows.old' so the backup wasn't even that essential (although obviously advisable). One thing I forgot to do was download backups of my drivers, but I got those using another computer. Laptop is running like new again, device manager full again and everything sweet! Thanks for the great guidance!
