Correct way of saving data files before reformat Tuesday, October 6, 2009 at 8:37 am Windows Vista Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Vic (9 messages posted) I am facing the daunting task of having to reformat my Dell inspiron 1520 laptop's hard drive and reloading all my programs. I am saving my data and as everything including documents , photos, music, videos etc would all be locate as subfiles under “Jim” my computer’s name. It also includes the “Appdata” file. When I download the Jim file on my reformatted disk will that include All of my previous settings?? I am using Vista Thanks for any insight or tips to make this long task easier!
