Hello,

I'm using iTunes 10.5.3.3 to sync my iPhone 4S. (running win xp sp3)

Currently, It's time to format my PC C:\ drive.

I have all my music on the D drive (I don't need to backup songs before formatting C drive)
iTunes currently sync to those files,
and I need to recover iTunes full settings after the format.
(so iTunes could have the same Library and Playlists 'picture' on D drive - equals to prior formatting)

How can I do that ?
what files need to be backed-up before formatting,
and I can I make iTunes full recover on a new formatted C drive ?

Thanks. Ron

Hi, welcome. You need to backup your iTunes folder from the C drive before you format, and copy it to the newly installed Windows.

Details:
1. Open this link: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
2. Follow the steps as guided under "External drive"
3. Done.
