Re: [OTish] HELP! W2K registry corrupted



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 :(
