I've created a new image file of the hard disc using Acronis, so any future rebuilds should be less painful.
I would make a habit of doing regular images and one if you make any software or data additions to your computer. I am glad you are up and running again. Windows 7 has a good feature that I am using now it automatically makes a new image of my computer every sunday on a separate HDD so I always have a fallback position that is only a week old
