Which settings do you mean? If you no longer have Ubuntu, you won't need the settings, or are you upgrading to Jaunty? If you have a separate /home partition you can upgrade without loosing your personal settings for a lot of things, by keeping all your files and configs in the old /home without formatting it at install.

I just want to re-install ubuntu.

Mainly you can backup your /home or just /home/(everyothernicks) there were all the personal settings reside. If you're server administrator or an adept Linux user other folders like /etc, /var/log, /anyotherfolder will be backuped too.
