Any tips for rebuilding windows 2000 PC?

I've been running W2K on my home PC for almost 2.5 years now, but Windows has started to run flaky on me (lost IIS, printing problems etc.), so I think it's time to rebuild.

Does anyone have any top tips or potted guidance on how to rebuild the PC from scratch (using manufacturer's build disk), particularly:
- re-establishing internet access,
- adding patches,
- re-installing apps,
- getting back my inbox etc.

I don't think now is the time for trial and error, I'd like to take a day and plan the rebuild properly.

Tips and guidance are much appreciated, particularly from those of you who do this every day!

Thanks,
John
