eaisest I can think of. Add a 2nd hard drive as slave to
the main drive - reset bios to recognize their is a 2nd
drive. Boot up and copy all your "documents" NOT
programs to the slave drive. Remove the drive, reset the
bios then do a clean installation. All programs will
have to be reinstalled. After finished run all the
updates from microsoft. After all is running correctly
then put the slave drive back in, do the bios and your
set.
I normally use a 2nd drive to keep all my data files on
anyway.

If it's documents, burn to CD if you have the capability. One CD hold 700
MB of information. They're quite economical considering how much one can
put on just one.

DVDs even more so, if one has the necessary equipment.
