It doesn't contain custom tweakes unless they are MS based options (hardly tweaks). A fresh install would be better if it can be achieved. |

After the MS security CD was run on it it crashed, and wasn't fixable or installable from the files on the hard disk, so I installed W2K. It's very messy having the remains of the ME there ... it's going to have a clean installation of W2K when I replace its hard disk with a bigger one. |

| 325122 | 2005-02-17 03:38:00 | I have removed that extra line in the boot . ini and now it boots directly to windows but obviously the files are still there . I am waiting for him to drop OS cd's so I can reinstall which I gather from responses would be the best idea . My other concern will be the updates when finished as it doesnt have a lan connection so I will have to connect it to the internet to download via dial up . Thanks sam m |

Thanks sam m As mentioned, save the i386 folder, that'll bring you up to speed with the updates installed thus far, do a bit od research on how to use the files to install the updates without having to go to the net . Not all updates will have full backup files though and it will depend, to some extent, on how the updates were installed in the first place . |
