Hey all, i have purchased a Gigabyte DS3 and an EVGA Superclocked 8800GTS 320mb! And i cant wait to get them in my pc.

I have a problem though, when i upgrade my motherboard and gpu, i know i need to either reinstall xp, or clean drivers, not too sure how to clean the drivers efficiently, so i think ill go for the xp install, but there rises another problem.. i need to keep all of the data on my pc, and theres 8gb of important stuff that i have no way of backing up.

My question is this: Is it possible to basically overwrite my current cp pro install, with another xp pro install over the top? Without losing everything on my pc, also, will it work if i do that and then install new chipset / gpu drivers etc etc will i have any problems?

Thanks in advance - Greenboi
