Back up all personal data from your PC, FIRST. "Backup" means: copy to CD / DVD / external hard drive.
Then, back up all programs NOT on CD / DVD already, you may have to re-install them later. Make sure you have a printed record of all CD keys / Activation codes.
Finally, save your Address Book, Browser favourites, password files, and ISP settings.
Never attempt to re-install Windows until this is all done. Assume you WILL accidentally blow everything away, and be prepared.
