Is there any way I can back up my entire system before formatting my hard drive and then just load that entire system onto a partition instead of doing a complete clean install. Essentially, I have a lot of settings and such that I would rather not have to go through the hassle of configuring again and was wondering if I could just load an image of my system onto a partition that would retain my theme, music, files, etc.

If you are going to copy EVERYTHING back to the new install, why are you formatting your drive?
