can i reinstall my Win2K?



Hi

I can no longer boot my Win2K sp4, the erd and repair mode doesn't fix it; I can only boot from my floppy boot disk. I've replaced my boot.ini and edited them to see all of the drives and partitions with no success.

I would like to re-install the system over the existing system, so my question is: can I do this without having to re-install the service packs and additional installed software ??

thanks for all your help
