Re: OS Re-installation

Thanks, Dave, for your suggestions and comments.
I saw and saved the Articles....q292175 and Q306952, but, when I tried to
download W2KSP4_EN.EXE, I ran into a problem its size being about 129MG. I
have a Dial-up connection and it would take a rather long time to download
it. I would have to schedule the time for it, unless any of my contacts with
a faster connection would be willing to do it. If hat is a must, I will need
time to get ready for the project.
I do appreciate your time!
