Reinstall from Scratch - Restore client data?

[lschafroth]

I would like to reinstall the Debian OS from scratch. The text only screen setup never allowed me to use raid to use all the drives in my system for maximum disk space.

I dont need redundancy for now, just the use of all my drives as one big drive. CentOS did this for me, Debian fails misserably.

I would like to resintall then install 1.0.0 of the control panel then import all my users email and passwords back. Is this at all possible? I am currently on Debian Etch and RC7 which was upgraded from RC6.

Thanks!!

PS I would also need to have someone show me how to do the raid or virtual drive during setup as all linux guides I have found do NOT work.
