Due to some corrupted system files on my C: drive, WHS now fails during the boot process, so I suspect I need to do a Server Reinstallation. From taking a look through the forums it sounds like my shares folder on D: will not be touched though.
Correct.
What I wanted to know is if the entire structure of the D: drive is unchanged, or just the Shares folder, as I have a couple of folders in the root of the D: drive not under Shares folder that I would like to keep.
I've never actually tried that (since it's unsupported), but I don't see how it would get rid of some files on D and not others, so I would assume it would leave everything in place on D. If nothing else, backup the folders and files that you created manually on the D drive before doing a Server Reinstallation (just in case).
Also, I'm aware that user accounts will be wiped, but will any existing \shares\users\xxxx folders be maintained?
Yes.
What happens if i try to create a user account during the reinstallation that already has an existing folder in shares\users of that name.
It should automatically "re-map" the newly-created user to the already-existing folder.
