bitter magnet

ok, after browsing the net even more, and getting TSM to work, there are a few updates:

- With TSM i was able to copy over C:\WINNT\repair, which dates to 12/2001 (when Win2k was reinstalled on computer), makes sense. There is also a folder Regback, which has registry files from 9/2003.

However:
1) The SOFTWARE file is too huge to fit on a floppy (16MB)..even the file at first installation is 5 MB.

BUT: i just found out that the Fast Repair option doesn't expect these registry files to be the floppy; supposedly it looks for them on C:\WINNT\repair and copies them over. What the Fast Repair does is it does the Manual Repair stuff :

[X] Inspect startup environment
[X] Verify Windows 2000 system files
[X] Inspect Boot Sector

it also supposedly checks the registry.

So the first thing i want to do is use this without an ERD. IF it doesn't work, i'll have to figure something else out

also: i think that once i can boot into it i should use ConfigSafe to restore it to a previous point. I don't remember when it last did a snapshot...i wonder how i can find that one out.
