Scott,
Xp version is OEM D dive contains Angel rescue partition; if I run from
C:/Windows.....it wants to do a clean install; so looks like an install
will run risk of losing files/settings.
Ran script and got error 800A0401 line 28 character 13 (unexpected end of
script). Thoughts?
Appreciate your help
Steve Berk
