BTW, you may still have problems with your art software even if you can pull it off the disk. If you have previously copied the software setup files from the (lost) disks onto your hard drive then you'll be OK (just reinstall with those, assuming you have the licence key codes, etc). But if you only have the final installations in "Program Files"  then those may not work under a new install of Windows (and maybe not even with a repaired Windows, if you can pull that off). Some programs tie themselves up with a particular Windows installation to the extent they can't function without it.

A Bryce5 installation works fine by itself in its own folder transfered onto a new machine, but Bryce6 requires a fresh install.
