After you get the OS reinstalled and everything setup you may want to consider making a backup of the entire drive (os included). That way in say a year or so or if you have a crash or something you can easily reinstall. Check out the last post in this thread for some info on Acronis. You can basically do this for free, as the 15 day trial of Acronis allows you to make bootup media and perform backups during the trial period. One thing to note though -- I was not able to successfully backup onto DVD, so I would recommend backing up using a USB drive or a slave HD.
