That problem is not really there. Reformatting the hard disc does not
make your computer lose network or USB access, so you can copy your
data back immediately without any problems. Just make sure you neither
switch off nor reboot before you have transferred your data back!
The question is why you want to reformat your main hard disc in the
first place. Are you certain that this is required?
