The problem I have is: A. It is a laptop (Dell Inspiron 9400) and I cannot reinstall the original software. I have to use the compacted OS that came with the laptop and which contains all the drivers, etc. B. Then after that I can start reinstalling all other stuff. Updates, etc. C. Once I invoke the step at A. above, I will no longer have access to anything on the laptop. I have backed up overything onto an eNotebook but of course that is just a copy, not a "installed and ready to run copy with all the necessary registry entries etc". I am really wary about this.
