Account information is stored on the harddrive itself and not online. So I'm afraid there's not much you can do to retrieve your old account. Sorry.

Be sure to backup ur MP-data on a usb drive or an external harddrive, cause as long as u have the same cd-key you can copy and paste the mp data between profiles and if you get a new comp you still have your rank and unlocks.

Did you erased the Cod4 directory after uninstall?
If not, i think your stuff is still there.
I've uninstalled and re-installed COd a few times now and i've never lost the ranks and unlocks, they were there.
But if it was completelly erased, bye bye info. :/

What happens if i move between xp and vista will it still work?

If you do not backup your profile directory in cod4 and format your harddrive, you lose your data and start over.

If your harddrive crashes and all data is gone, you lose your data and start over.

If you uninstall CoD4 and delete the left over folder that has your profile, you lose your data and start over.

If your computer randomly shuts down and corrupts your profile, you lose your data and start over.

If you install on a brand new computer and do not copy your profile over, you lose your data and start over.

If you do not want to lose your data and start over, with ANYTHING you do or may run into, you want to backup your profile.

Here is a link on how to do that:
