Need to Keep My Documents

Due to corrupt files, I need to reinstall my Windows2000.
However, by doing so I will loose my My Documents. Where
can I go to find this folder to rename it and move it to
another directory.
 
Is the drive Fat32 or NTFS? If it's a FAT drive, boot up from a Windows 98
boot disk (www.bootdisk.com) and either move or rename the folder.

If it's NTFS formatted it might be slightly harder. Unless someone else has
another suggestion, the only thing I can think of is to take the drive out
of that machine and put it into another that has Windows 2000/XP on and copy
over the data.

just move the contents of the folder to another... if you are using w2k its
in the documents and settings, under the folder with your log in name, my
docs...
