Hello all,
I have been asked by the boss to have a look at his home pc as it will only boot in safe mode (Windows 98). I thought the easiest way to sort it (he wants a new system in the next 2 months anyway) without losing everything through re-formatting would be to reinstall the os over the top of the existing install (this has worked ok for me in the past) - but the one area of concern is he wants to keep all his emails (on Outlook Express, although he does have Outlook installed!). If I re-install the OS will all the emails remain intact, or will they be overwritten?
Any advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I can't find a direct answer on the MS Knowledge Base.
Cheers
