re-installing windows without reformatting
i have windows 98 first edition installed on a computer. i am wondering, if i
use the setup disk to reinstall the system, in dos, after it has installed itself again, will i lose any customizations to my old system? specifically, i am wondering if i will lose a desktop background image, system drivers for installed hardware, etc. i dont want to have to reinstall drivers for my hardware, or reinstall other software. i just want setup to replace some corrupted files, and be able to find my personal files still in their same place. can i do that, by running windows setup in dos, without losing the items ive mentioned here? i just want to replace windows files, not my own created files and installed drivers. thank you |
