After a similar experience (reformatting my rig many times), I decided to have all my sources in separated folder and manually install any component I may need. That way, I kept delphi faster and lighter. I also keep zips for anything related to sources, components and tools, and backups on rw dvds/memory sticks. Maybe it sounds crazy and obsesive, but never lost a working component/library again.
@SilverWarrior: Yep, i used them but i dont remember what component exactly. Sometimes my projects just sit without any activity for long time and i forget easily what i have done or how and what i have used.
Sorry, whats the "hte"?
@pitfiend: what do you mean manually? I also install manually, not using any installer, just Component->Install Component.
If you mean, you create them at runtime, then this is another story.
Currently i have 3 partitions on my HDD. 1 for Win and other 2 for my stuff. So always before formatting i move projects folder from Delphi folder on C:\ part to my other partitions. Same with folder called Comp in Delphi 7 folder. In this Comp folder i hold all my used components. And then i just format the C: part, without touching others.

For some reason I'm making lots of spelling mistakes lately. Don't ask me why as I have no idea. But it is anoying as it hinders my programming productivity (I keep fixing errors in code due to my spelling mistakes).
