Windows 7 Reinstall And FSX

[toriu]

After yet another Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit problem and reinstall via the W7 DVD, I have had to reinstall
FSX/Acceleration and all the extras... Now that all is installed and running smoothly, is there a way to save
this FSX/A in the event of another W7 reinstall in the future?

I have FSX/A at 87GB on a 1.34 TB hard drive (J:) and when I do the Windows 7 reinstall I always disconnect this drive. The OS and other files for FSX is on the (C:) drive.

So now I have the new active FSX/A and the FSX/A(OLD) on the (J:) drive.(will delete the old one later).
Can I just make a copy of (C:) (with the appropriate software) as it is now and then reinstall FSX?
Any advice will be appreciated.

What I did  after getting my drives and everything the way I wanted on new, clean Windows and FSX installs was was to make images of both drives and saved them on a backup drive. In the event that a complete reinstall is ever needed I can go back to the original drive configurations. I also make image backups of my drives on a regular basis and save those as well. That way if something gets messed up for any reason I can revert to the most recent backup(s), and I've done it numerous times. If you need help setting this up post back.
