Guys
I am planning on formatting my harddisk. But I have some workunits waiting to be processed. I want to know if i copy

"projects" folder, "slots" folder and XML files to freshly installed Windows XP will Boinc start processing the WUs from where

it was left?

If it won't wok then i would like to know how to stop Bonic from downloading WUs temporarily? I remember in SAH-1 we

could do that by having a text file named "stop after send" (or something like that). Is there something like th8is in SAH-2?
Can somebody provide the details?

Thanking in advance.

In the pass I was having trouble with a old hard drive I did the following and it work fine.
windows version
Exit boinc
copy the complete boinc diretor
format install windows
copy the boinc directory back into program files directory
install boinc

boinc continue where it left off.
note it has to be on the same computer.
good luck
