Regards,

Thanks, the second article was actually helpful. Now on the "Press F8"
screen, I get
"Windows can not boot because the follwoing file is missing or corrupt:
\WINNT\Config\System.sav
I also tells me to run a Recovery using the CD-ROM, which I do. Then
Win2k setup proceeds to recover, but I still get the same error after a
reboot.

Now I'm in an infinite setup loop. I get to the screen that says
"Please wait while setup detects and installs drivers..." and I get
fast "blue screen" and PC reboots, that it goes back to this screen,
blue screen, ect...

.
