18154 2001-09-04 06:58:00 Hi,

Can someone please tell me, if I wanted to perform another reinstallation of Win2k over the current Win2k system Im using, would my data in my documents and so forth, still remain intact? With the exception of Program software applications?

Or would this completely erase all files because of a 'new' account being created would wipe all previous settings etc...

Thanks.

If you install 'fresh' - to a new directory for example - your data will still be reatined unless YOU delete it. You would have to go looking for it in its previous location however. Guest (0)

But it might be wise to backup your important files to floppy or cd first.
Just in case...
