I would add also to restore /usr/local/ and as far as /etc there are some scripts I hand modify and so of course back up those. Also /root as well as /home You also may want to use your package manager to dump a list of installed packages so you can get the new system up and running the same way the old system was with all the desired software. I think the best thing to do is to make a back up of the old drive on DVD or whatever you have that can hold it and then install a clean install. After the install, then restore whatever you want from the backups. I don't know how big your Linux partition is and so not sure how feasible that is for you.
