Reformatting HD

So I am getting ready to back up all my shit and reformat my hard drive.

I am going to wipe it clean and put XP pro on it instead of Vista.

Just to make a checklist, I have the copy of XP, I have Window Washer, and I found all of my drivers off of the HP's website and saved them.

Anything else I am forgetting?

In that case, nothing is backed up, or going to be. I guess just a temporary home for all my PORN!

on xp it goes as follows (similar to vista, but i'm sure you'll find it vic)
make sure you show hidden files..
then go to C:\Documents and Settings\yourname\application data\mozilla\firefox\

copy both the extensions folder and the profiles folder, then put them in this folder i just stated for you when you install xp

hope you understood that i'm not sure how to put it otherwise..

Talk about a fail.... My Window Washer program did not work... It was 'Calculating drive geometry for a solid hour and a half.....

Any other programs to suggest that will wipe my hard drive?
