if you start install it as fresh then format that will lost everything but if you start fresh and leave it alone (not to format) it will install new windows .
current: C:\WINDOWS\
new installation without reformate pronb become C:\WINDOWS001\
so you won't lost your stuffs.
best method is... back up your stuffs on CD/DVD disc. or make a copy file arrcorss the network.
hope this helps |

next time, after you install windows make a copy of the partition with norton ghost for example
-have your documents in a different partition (you can make 3 partitions: one FAT32 - 510mb for the bootloader, another one (main) for windows (ntfs) and your programs and 3rd for your documents
>so when you have to format or something your windows partition your documents will be on the other partition unharmed
-hope it made sense |
