Corrupt Video - HELP!

[David G. Wilson]

Win2KSP4

A user accidentally started the install of a new video driver then rebooted
the system in the middle of the process, thus corrupting the VGA video
drivers for Win2K.

Upon restart the receive the error:
stop 0x000000B4

Cannot start in Safe Mode, VGA Mode and Last Known Good does nothing.

None of the following support documents address the problem.

Of course reinstalling Windows would fix the problem but completely wipe out
all the My Documents and every installed program. This would result in a
several hour job to reinstall everything and is NOT a viable option until
there is absolutely no hope of anthing else working.

I have been able to install a 2nd copy of Win2K and can now access all the
files on the system.

QUESTION: Is there *any* way to copy, move, merge, etc the video files,
drivers, settings, etc. from the new installation of Win2K into the old one?

So why did'nt you try a repair installation, rather than install a second
copy of Win?, and no you cannot merge the installation.
