You'll need to enable "Show hidden files, folders, etc" in your folder options.

Head over to "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\eHome\" and copy the largest numbered mcepgx-x folder to an external storage device.

I use Gary's epg123Transfer.exe utility to do the restore. I don't know the specifics on an entire wipe and reinstall. Maybe someone can shed some light on that?
