Whenever I have used a slipstreamed win2k cd the resulting installation has
had large disk support (I installed onto 150gb drives)

Not sure what you mean by 'natural' drive letters

Hello,
my main platform is W2K and was recently damaged. After a crash it was
impossible to reinstall the Geforce 7900 graphics card. In this process
the file "system32\config\system." apparently was damaged. The "r"epair
option of the CD could not (automatically) find the installation.

I probably have to reinstall W2K and produced a slipstreamed Boot-CD (with
SP4). I don't know what will happen then because the "natural" drive
letters have reassigned.

However, my greatest worry is the support for large partitions. Will that
be included automatically in the slipstreamed CD? (Or is that worry
unnecessary because the installation will be restriced to the small system
partition?)
