Re: [OTish] HELP! W2K registry corrupted

["Paul Gale <groups@xxxxxxx>" <groups@xxxxxxx>]

CHKDSK found around 10 files with errors, so hopefully my other data 
is OK. If I do a full re-install I should still have everything I 
need (all HA software settings are backed up - I think!). I also run 
Exchange 2000 server and with all the other patches, settings, 
tweaks it'll take a while to get it all back (last rebuild took 2 
days! - although there was a lot of playing). I wanted to try some 
obvious (or not so) things first before comitting to wasting a 
Sunday when I could be getting on with over HA stuff :(
