Recovering from a Crash

My machine hung, and powered it down. When I rebooted, it complained and then went about a typical root recovery. However, it failed and I did a fsck. All came up fine, or so I thought. Upon trying vi and a cp, I got some really screw characters on the screen. I do have a boot disk. I'd rather not start from scratch. Is it possible to go through the CD install as an update?
