Hi,
 I tried running the winnt.exe from a boot and it seemed like it was going
to work. It said it was coping files and after about 30 minutes it seemed
like it was locked up so I rebooted and it seemed as it was continueing to
start windows, then it stopped and said it couldn't find the End User
Licensing Agreement. I have the key on the back of the computer but when i
fdisked and formatted it was lost. Anyway to put that back on the system or
should I just send the computer back and get my money back?
Thanks again for the help....tcoop
