Morning! I have a problem that I do not ahve the experiance to fix but I know it can be done. My OS stopped working and I tried to repair WINDOWS 2000 but after a few hours of trying everything I could only reinstall a fresh copy of the OS. All went fine until I found my previous itentity was gone, all my programs are still there, on the HD all documents everything in tact however when I boot up I get this new screen, none of my old stuff is hidden. How do I get that identity to now load onto the new OS?

When you did a reinstall it rework the reg.file, your programs may still be on the HD but most will not run,,it's best to reinstall your programs into the same place you had them... The key to running windows is to backup,backup :) here's a neat little free tool to help with that job.
