Please have a quick check see how many users of various kinds you now have. I
have for some time when in trouble formatted my small (7.8GB) C: partition and
re-installed 2000 after which I restored the latest good back-up.
I noticed that the usage of the partition was getting bigger each time as I make
a lot of notes (I have to learn quick as I am now 82 years of age)
I noticed there were a number of Administrators and quite a number of 'Borge'
and each one of those carried the information for each type of user.

I have now deleted all of the spare ones and the machine is still working fine
and I am again back to using just 3,2 GB of the partition. I wonder if that also
happens if you are ghosting.

I am nearly ready to bet that is so as the new installation calls for a new
Admin, User with admin access and additional Users.

If so delete with care.
