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.
