We have three servers running Windows 2000 and two running 2003. We have
purchased three more copies of 2003 and want to upgrade the 2000 servers.
However, I want to do a clean install.

They are all DC's but I have a master on one of the 2003 servers so I'm
not
worried about AD. What I AM concerned about, however, are the 60,200,021
shares/devices/etc (oh, ok, maybe I'm exaggerating a LITTLE.)

All of the servers have the OS installed on their "C:" drive with
EVERYTHING
else on D: and above. All of the shares, etc relate to folders on other
logical drives. If I wipe out the boot "C:" drive I will lose all of these
printer shares, shared folders, etc. How can I preserve them so when I
cleanly install Server 2003 I can get them back? I don't want to have to
redo 60,200,021 shares/devices/etc.

Bill
