If you installed Win2k on a separate partition, it sounds like your bad memory was corrupting your user profile every time you booted. Look in Documents and Setting and see if you have multiple folders with your user name. Usually, with a corrupt profile, Win2k will add a .winnt to your user folder and create a new one. Your original mail, etc may be in one of those. You could try to move them to the good user folder. Sometimes Win2k won't let you if you are not signed on as an administrator. If you have a lot of corrupt profiles and haven't gotten too far in installing your apps, you might want to just wipe the partition and start over. As soon as you get the installation stable, go to backup in system tools and create an emergency repair disk and check the box to let it back up the registry. I think you'll find that with your memory problems solved you will really like Win2k.
