If you are reformatting then you loose everything. all you can do is backup
any important documents/files etc to your flash drive - assuming everything
will fit on the flash drive.
Your emails will depend upon what email application you are using. you will
probably need to locate the folder where the files are stored and then copy
them from there.

Hi there! I'm a newbie to the group and I'm in the middle of
re-formatting so you might hear a lot from me in the next couple of
days. I hope you're okay with that. I'll just state my problems and
questions and you let me know if I've totally confused you....lol
First of all, I have a Gateway 505GR with XP. I recently had a bunch of
viruses and malware/grayware/all the wares. I've been advised to
reformat my XP and I need a little help with some things. btw, I'm
saving files to USB flash drive (512MB).
My first question is: Will I lose all of my emails and email program
settings when I reformat? And will I lose all of the folders inside my
email program?
Second question: If I WILL lose my folders, I would like to know how I
can copy them to the flash drive? Meaning, I want to keep my address
books, my favorites folder and all of my other folders of junk.
Thank you so much. I just want this to go as smoothly as possible.
Knock on wood, this is the first time I've ever had to make a major
change so I'm a little nervous.
Jamie
