Re: OS Re-installation

I will be looking into ways to test the existing Modem and the Dial-up setup.
For now, however, I would like to get back to the original question regarding
OS re-installation.

Dave, I did receive the MS Service Pack 4!

To re-iterate, the Dell Computer has a Pentium 4 at 1.80 GHZ, AT/AT
compatible 256MB Ram and 30GB HD. It uses MSWindows 2000 Professional
Edition built on NT technology and Service Pack 3. Four CDs are at hand:
1. Operating System for reinstalling Windows 2000 Professional Including
Service Pack 1.
2. Drivers and Utilities - Dell OptiPlex ResourceCd for Reinstalling Device
Drivers and Using
Diagnostics, Utilities and System Requirements.
3. Application for installing/Reinstalling Roxio Easy CD Creator 5.2 Basic.
4. WinDVD Intervideo Version 3.0.

In addition, there are the 4 Floppy Boot Diskettes that the System created
not too long ago.

I do not know if this is all I need for reinstalling the Operating System.
For some existing Applications there are no installation discs, but I am
hoping that these, even if
I am not really familiar with them, could be retained and not be affected by
the reinstallation.

At this point, if I am not asking too much, a step-by-step procedure of ‘how
to go about’ in reinstalling Windows2000 Pro would be most welcome. As
mentioned to you, I will essentially be the only User and, unless you
recommend to re-establish Administrator Security or whatever, I
tend to lean toward eliminating those steps.
I have the ProductKey and, if needed, the Administrator and the User
Passwords.

Thank you in advance for your time.
