I think you can maybe just re-install windows, I dunno. But if you haven't got a burner I recomend chucking your HDD in a friends machine with a burner and copy off all your mp3s. Then Fdisk and create a partition so you can store things on a logical drive whenever you need to format your primary HDD (or just get a second HDD). Also ALWAYS keep backups of patches and mods etc you download because there are always times you need to reinstall stuff and it saves downloading them again. I personally have 3 CDs full of mods, patches and apps like winamp, winzip etc (not counting mp3s) as backups for when I (frequently) reinstall windows
