I finished BG1 this weekend and just purchased BG2. I hope to install it this evening. I played BG1 in single player mode with a Half-Elven Ranger. I would like this character to carry over into BG2 as the primary character. Furthermore, for BG2, I'd like to roll-up a straight mage and have complete control over him. I'll pick up 4 NPC to round-out my party.

One more wrinkle. My hard drive is only 6 GB, so I must uninstall BG1 before installing BG2 (I like the Full-Install option, no disc swapping).

What files do I need to save from the BG1 game so that I don't lose my character? Into which directory should I put these files once I've installed BG2?

How do I import my old character as the main character and roll-up a new one for the same party? Do I initiate a multi-player game? (I never tried multi-player with BG1, so forgive me if this is a stupid question.)

Thanks for any help you guys can provide.
