Creating a CD for Microsoft Windows XP, 2000, 2003, and NT.

Question: How can I reinstall windows and not loose all of my files?

The first thing you can do is make a Startup diskette if you are using FAT32, or you can make a bootable CD image. If you are using NTFS read the section bootable CD image.

If you have a Recovery CD from your computer manufacturer, the Recovery CD will install the Windows installation files to a folder, normally to C:\I386 or C:\Winnt\I386 or C:\Windows\I386 . Open the Windows Explorer and look for them. Make sure you have the file Winnt.exe, Winnt32.exe and EULA.txt. Each version of Windows has a different number of files and almost all the files will be compressed so they will have an underscore at the end of the file extension like "Shell32.dl_"
