Re: Re: [OTish] HELP! W2K registry corrupted

["Dan" <dtoma@xxxxxxx>]

Do not try the recovery with the orignal CD if you do not have a recovery
diskette (emergency repair disk).
You will loose all the installed software, including  settings.
More, the system can become completely mess-up.

Dan
P.S. Just a small question: have you tried the Last Good Known
configuration, or the system crash even using this option?

  Yes - I could do that although Windows says the Software registry
  hive is corrupt. Isn't that important enough (with all the changes
  from the original install) to warrant a re-install?

  I'm not sure what I would gain :(

  Thanks Paul.
