Yes, however it didn't work! When I restart it looks like it is booting into
XP however when the Windows XP screen goes away and you are about to get the
desktop the screen just goes black with hte mouse pointer showing and moving
but that's all. I will do a re-install but then I would loose my financial
data. My most recent backup of this data is two weeks old, my bad, and yes I
know better however I got busy and forgot to backup the files. Also when I
go to the dos screen I can cd to the root of C: drive and I find the files,
but it won't let me save them to cd. I believe there is a way of
reinstalling the os files from the I386 directory on the os cd but I can't
find the tool to use.
