Right,i am going to format my drives and put them into one as they are currently split 3 ways,i have saved all i want to on cd and have a query,in the past when putting scanner in,usb and sound etc i've had loads of conflicts but at the minuite and for the past year i have been running fine so is there any way i can put all my current drivers,settings etc on to a disk,then reload once i've reinstall windows,how would i do this if it can be done.

Thanks Paul

Try using ghost by Norton or Drive Image pro, they allow you to take an image of your current setup, then play with the disks (partitions or even swap out for a newer bigger one) and put it back as it was, all drivers data and settings in place.
