Well i usually back up everything but now and then this happens. I forgot to make a current backup. The thing is i have a
WD 120GB windows drive from which my PC refused to boot up since i hit reset while it was shutting down. Now i installed XP on my old hard drive and am backing everything up from it. but i cant back up my local folders from the new drive. Does anyone know which files i should be copying and where do i place it after a format?
thanks

"c:\documents and settings\your_user_name\Local Settings\programfiles\Identities\"

Don't forget to File > Folder > Compact All Folders from within OE before you backup too, to save space...
