Reinstalling win 2000

I have found a Stop oxooooooB8 ( blue screen ) wait operation attatched process on my system and tried to edit the registery as Microsoft explained to fix it. I could not find the Clusnet to change it, so I want to reinstall win 2000 over the top ............not a total wipe. Can someone tell me what I will lose. I know my programs will not be affected, but what of all my massive amount of 3d animation files for work. Do I have to transfer these to another drive first. Thanks

Hi HercDestin,
You shouldn't need to move the files to another drive before doing an inplace upgrade. However, I will give you this little warning:
The only time I've ever needed a backup, was when I hadn't created one.

Hope this helps!

I've given several links to instructions on how to properly do a repair installation as well as instructions on how to save files.... but no feedback from hercdestin.

Give me the points or split between myself and trailblazzyr55.

I agree with PaulADavis, he has given some instructions as to how to go about a proper repair installation, and I have given some pointers as to what will take place and what to watch out for. Both posts offer a solution to what Bartender_1 question was.

I'd say split the points, but that's up to you ;^)
