- Stop the Model, then stop boinc.
- Zip the entire boinc folder and copy to CD-RW or DVD-RW (or ship it over your LAN, if you have one)
- Load the Folder to same location* on your reformatted drive and unzip.
- Re-install boinc into that Folder (to set Windows Registry entries; it won\'t harm your CPDN files)
- Make a desktop icon, if one isn\'t already there, and restart.


* I place my boincCPDN installations in a small dedicated partition (12 to 15 Gig allows plenty of space for growth, backups, et al [Edit: it doesn\'t have to be that large]); it allows for quick defragging every time the Folder is backed-up.

Note that you can copy the Folder without Zipping it first. If you do that, be sure to reset the permissions for the restored Folder to be Read/Write.

If any of this is unclear, please ask again. Best of luck with it.

Note2: It\'s okay to change from one Windows version to another, but your current CPDN Run won\'t work if you are changing from Windows to Linux.

Good job, Jesus! Thanks for the feed-back.
