Win 2003 Server Install

I have a Win2k server that just crashed. It has two 9gb SCSI drives... one for the OS and one for the data. Drive 0 is the bad one.

I have two new 36gb SCSI drives on the way. I also have Win 2003 server which I want to use.

I have a complete backup and disaster recovery set from Veritas BackupExec.

What is the best way to go about rebuilding this server? Should I do a clean install of 2003 and then just restore  what I need from the tape? Is there anyway to get the user information wihtout having to setup them all up again?

After thinking about it over the weekend I have decided to do a clean install because the win2000 server had extra junk that is not needed.

Thanks for the help.
Excellent decision.  You will not regret it.  2000 had a lot of problems later fixed in 2003.  A clean slate is needed to get the max out of 2003.  Best of luck...
