My question is has anyone tried doing this as i want to know if it works.

299130 2004-12-02 18:58:00 I've never done it but by doing a google search, ppl do and have done it and it seems to work. If u copy wpa.dbl and wpa.bak to a floppy, and after u install XP chuck them back into c:/windows/system32 folder, in safe mode. Spacemannz (808)
