How to do a repair/install in Windows 2000 Pro

[Guest Victek]

I'm getting ready to do a repair/install of Windows 2000 Pro. I've done

this many times with XP, but this is the first time with Win2000 and I

wonder if there are any unique issues I should be aware of? Assuming the

process doesn't crash can I trust that installed applications and data will

be unaffected? Any advice appreciated.
