System Backup Programs?

Hi, I'm wanting to reinstall Windows completely. But I obviously don't want to lose all my music and game files. Is there a program where I can save all of the My Documents files and stuff so I can simply put it on my iPod and put them back on after Windows is installed?

I'm wanting to partition my drive a bit better to have Windows on one bit, game and music files on another.

Any clues?

Probably easier to burn it to DVD or use an external/2nd HDD to store this stuff while you sort out your main drive with Windows install and partitions as you like.

I was really asking for the something along the lines of a program to help me backup the files I want for settings and what not. Thanks for the tip tho, I can use my ipod as an external HD fine. 20GB will be enough I reackon.

Most settings can be backed up manually.

Failing that, have you tried 'Files And Settings Transfer Wizards' under Start -> Accessories -> System Tools ?

Acronis TrueImage - Might be able to do what you want.
