Since you're experiencing the joy of a re-install, now might be a good time
to consider using a disk imaging utility. The image will preserve your
freshly setup hard drive in the state it was immediately after you finish
installing everything - and will enable to you to start over fresh with a
minimum of trouble next time.

I use Acronis True Image for this purpose - it's a paid program. I made an
image of my hard drive after reinstalling everything essential on the system.
Now, when the system starts acting up, I pop in the Acronis boot disk and
restore my hard drive to it's original state, and I'm back up and running
within 20 minutes.
