I have a Toshiba Tecra 9000 which came installed with
Windows 2000 Professional. Today I could not boot it.
Error is Missing/Corrupt file: \WINNT\SYSTEM32
\CONFIG\SYSTEMced. I followed instruction on MS support
with no avail.

QUESTION: If I decide to reinstall Windows 2000
Professional from teh CD; will it delete/erase omit all
previous documents, desktop icons, links on desktop, files
on "C" drive, etc?

A simple YES or NO will suffice for me to make the
decision.

Thank you so much.

It depends on how you go about it. Post again if you
require more details.

You can choose an upgrade or a fresh install. One will keep your settings;
the other won't. You should do a backup in any case. in the event you do
something wrong.
 
Careful though, Toshiba's Restore CD's are designed to wipe out what's there
and do a fresh install from an image. Hopefully they gave you an OEM W2K cd
too.
