Re: [H] w2k problem
plan on doing just that, went there today and worked on it but am waiting for him to drop it off now. current repair disk would repair it but I am afraid the proggies would be messed up ( happened once b4 ) I wonder if the repair disk can be edited not to restore the registry just find the %systemroot% fp At 03:48 PM 8/18/2005, joeuser Poked the stick with: ZOTAB is a problem and could be yours.
