Re: RESTORING CRASHED SITE WEBS

Well, when installing Sharepoint, the installer did display a message
saying it found frontpage extensions on the default web and I could
either cancel or continue and extend the default web later. I selected
continue.

By the way; I also used the backup option in Frontpage2003 before the
crash; so I a have those backups too. Perhaps I should have just
installed sharepoint and used the smigrate to restore the web sites.
That may have rebuilt the SQL databases from scratch.
