    Hi All ,
    I had an istallation of win 2000 which i couldn't boot to.
    It was freezing at the windows screen ( after the bios loading and the f8 option to choose ).
    I tried to boot
    1. from the emergency repair disk failed
    2. from the original win 2000 Cd succeded but when reboot from the HD failed.
    I also tried the repair option but wasnt able to boot from the HD.
    At a point wasn't able to boot anymore neither from the win 2000 CD.
    I decided to install win 2000 at the same HD without making a new partition and now i have win2000 at C:\WINNT1 ( the new ) and C:\WINNT ( the old )
    The file systen is NTFS. Have checked the disk with chkdsk /r
    Now i can boot to the second installation.
    Is there a way i could transfer or merge the old installation to the new one ?
    My nightmare is to do all the programm installations from scratch ,configurate the varius programms and so on.
    I'd like to repair the first installation of win 2000 and after that i can boot to it , delete the second one. Or if i could in a manner "transfer" the programms from the old installation to the new one ( i'm not talking about paste and copy :) )
    Any idea would be highly aprecciated.
    Thanks in advange .
