Oh dear.  But the Oxford English Dictionary says:

reinstall > verb (reinstalls, reinstalling, reinstalled) [with obj.] 1
place or fix (equipment or machinery) in position again.
(etc.)

Even if it hadn't been in the dictionary, it is so commonly used in
computing that I would argue that it exists.
