Re: Reinstalling Windows 2000 from recovered files



Hi,
Thank you for your fast answer. I have looked at what I have recovered but
do not see a \i386 directory. Since I'am not familiar with Win2000 (this was
my only machine with that OS), I 'am not sure where to look for (\WinNT
directory ... ?).
Kind regards.
