I'm getting ready to format my disk. I have Vista Home Premium. I've done the same thing with XP several times with no problems. I've backed up all of my data files and bookmarks. Anything I should watch out for?

Sounds like your all set, but you might want to backup.
C:\ProgramData

Which is new to vista.
