I need to re-image my PC and was wondering if I can copy the BOINC dir somewhere, copy it back after reinstalling Windows and run the .exe from there in order to finish the sulfer cycle I\'m working on now. I\'m 61% into it and don\'t want to lose it.

Anybody?

Yes. After you\'ve copied the directory back you\'ll need to install the same version of BOINC.

Also check to make sure that the files are not marked read-only by the imaging process.
