I believe that some of you have used Knoppix to repair Win2k. The Microsoft Knowledge base (is that an oxymoron?) has a suggested solution....
If your system fails to boot because the System hive is corrupt, it may be possible to rename the System.alt file to System to recover Windows. This file is located in the Systemroot\System32\Config folder. How does one use Knoppix to get more than just read rights to an NTFS partition? (I will also try asking Mr Google) Thanks in anticipation. Rob PS - for your amusement - the faulty PC was "built" yesterday for a guy here nicknamed "Titanic". Guess why!
