Boot from the Win2000 install disks and choose the repair option. That will prompt you to load the ERD. The ERD has a complete copy of the registry, among other things. I believe you can still load the registry hives separately just like in NT4, so you won't have to restore everything. It first inspects the registry, then restores user accounts, then checks your setup environment, verifies the NT system files, and finally inspects the boot sector.
However, if your ERD is not current, you stand a good chance of mucking something else up, that being anything installed in your registry since the ERD was created. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Dan Stein Sent: Monday, July 08, 2002 12:21 PM To: Multiple recipients of list witango-talk Subject: Re: Witango-Talk: [OT] Windows 2000 server driver problem. Probably have an emergency disk somewhere but not sure how that would solve my problems. I can seems that the plug and play install file is the problem it install a corrupted registry. I guess I could boot from the Win 2000 Server install disk but what would I do have it do a repair? The last good config might not work since I followed the directions and uninstalled the devices then rebooted and let plug and play do the install.
