    Ok heres the deal I messed up my Windows installation bad. And this is what I have done so far: booted my Windows CD and gone to the "set up" section and then tried to repair my current instolation then my computer restarted and then brought up the installation splash screen for it, insteed of the welcome screen, then I got thinking "Will this erase my files" by files I mean My Documents, programs I have installed etc. So basicaly what i want to do is reinstall windows without bothering my documents. Is this possable or will it just screw it up even more?
