/ & /boot lost, re-install?

["David Robinson" <d_m_r@hotmail.com>]

Ok, I was keeping / , /boot, and swap on a small HD and running rest of file 
system on larger drive w/ Promise controller(My old MB wouldn't support such 
a large drive).  Just lost the small HD (it was old).  But kind of planned 
ahead and left a 2gig open space at the front of the second drive.  Can I 
just re-install Woody, formatting the 2gig section with the needed 
directories and mounting the old file system.  Or will I lose all my old 
files?  Thanks a lot,

Dave
