backing up the registry

[sf_everlast]

Hello,

I would like to know if there is a way to wipe clean the system drive (C), reinstall windows, and copy in the old registry, so that the guids & other systems ids point to the installed apps on the other drives (which weren't erased)?

I haven't heard of any options besides ghosting, so any feedback is appreciated.

Cheers,

E

Got the registry (Run: Regedit).
Go to Registry Menu and select Export File, export this to another that won't be formatted.when you have reinstalled Windows go to the Registry again and select Import File and select the registry file you created ealier.
