If you have backed up your e-Sword and Document e-Sword directories,
Install e-Sword then copy all of the backed up files to the directories you took them out of for the back up.
(The two directories you need to copy are C:Program Files (x86)\e-Sword and
C:\Users\your name\Documents\e-Sword.)
Fairly fast and simple IF you backed up those two directories before you lost access to the hard drive you had them installed on.

What if I only have this one?...C:\Users\your name\Documents\e-Sword
Then you have a weird install. The C:\program file (X 86) \e-sword directory is where windows stores the e-sword executable file as well as all the bblx, cmtx, dctx mapx refx files as well as other "overhead" files. The C:\users\yourname\e-sword\ directory stores the topx files as well as journal list files, mark up files and so on.
Be sure you are looking in the Program files (x86) directory as that is were the programs that run under 32 bit architecture are kept. The Program Files directory with out the (X86) is for 64 bit architecture programs.
There is also the possibility that you are running an older version of windows that doesn't "do" 64 bit architecture.
But either way there has to be a C:\Program Files\ e-sword directory.

Yes I do have both directories but only one of those, C:\Users\your name\Documents\e-Sword, got backed up.
Is there anything left in the directory that didn't get backed up? If not there are programs that can attempt (with limited success) to "unerase" the files that were in there.
Otherwise all of the Bible, Commentary, Dictionary, Reference Book, Maps and so on files will have to be reinstalled individually.

I had to reinstall my operating system. I did not think it through well enough. Now that I know what to back up, reinstalling the next time won't be so bad. Looks like for now I must do the tedious work. Oh the life of a computer man. lol. Thank you so much for telling me which directories to back up. Have a great evening.

That is how most of us learn the importance of backing up certain directories.
I use an 8 gig flash drive for my e-sword and document files. It isn't so much backup as syncing my lap top and my desk top, but it serves the same function.
You do know that you can recover your product keys for the premium files you purchased don't you?

When you do the reinstall, open e-sword select the downloads tab(third from the right at the top of the e-sword window) scroll down the premium module section. Select the modules that you have purchased you will be offered a choice of purchase or recover product key. From there it is merely a matter of fill out the form.
