WoW and Formating HD

[Droolinggimp]

Just about to format and do a fresh install of XP. I d/l WoW from Blizzard so not got original disks. What do I need to burn to DVD to backup my copy of WoW?

I have got World of Warcraft installed in my programs folder. It contains a patch folder. Do I need to copy those to DVD too?

Pretty desperate to re-install. Any help most welcome.

just copy all of it somewhere, it doesnt matter, first best winrar everything, burn on dvds depends how many you need, then just copy all back on any location and double click wow.exe and enjoy, you dont need to reinstall or anything, all will be working just fine,

mine wow is over 7.7GB so you need at least 2 dvd or one dual layer,

I just burnt my WoW folder. It contains the installer and 4 files around 650mb each plus the Patches folder from the installed loctaion in program fles folder.
all should work after I re-install windows.
