>From the documentation I read in the microsoft KB, I understood it to be that
in the event of serious registry corruptions (severe enough that OS would not
load), by booting to the windows setup CD you could select a 'repair' option.
I tried this, however, my original CD is SP2, and my systems is running SP4.
I got an error msg. that I could not run the repair on SP4 system using SP2
setup.
Also, I tried to run th chkreg utility, only to find that for some [stupid]
reason it expects you to have disk 6 from XP setup diskettes. Huh? Why would
I have XP disks if I am running 2k? So this was a waste of time too.
Any suggestions on a GOOD set of commercially available utilities? I used to
like norton, but after this fiasco, I am not too sure anymore.
I am not interested in 'upgrading' to XP. I like 2000 and want to get it
running smoothly again, as it had done for nearly 3 yrs prior to the norton
induced crash!
