yes, they are pictures, QuickenFiles, workout logs,emails, letters, etc. I do have the original Quicken disc, but not sure I have the photo startup discs etc. I wouldn't want to lose any files. I recently did a complete backup thru the XP system tools...so the external drive shows a "disc and settings" backup, but I do not know what to do with that file....it's not a file that actually opens to my knowledge. I guess wiping out my existing computer and then reloading important things just makes me nervous.
