[pchelpers] Re: need help with baffling problem

Hi Jackie

To save you time searching for the instructions,
here's what I copied from my Win2K help files:

To use an Emergency Repair Disk for system repairs

Insert the Windows 2000 Setup compact disc (CD), or
the first floppy disk you created from the CD, in the
appropriate drive: 
For systems that cannot start (boot) from the CD
drive, you must use a floppy disk. 
For systems that can start (boot) from the CD drive,
you can use either the CD or a floppy disk. 
Restart the computer, and if using floppy disks,
respond to the prompts that request each floppy disk
in turn. 
When the text-based part of Setup begins, follow the
prompts; choose the repair or recover option by
pressing R. 
When prompted, insert the Windows 2000 Setup CD in the
appropriate drive. 
When prompted, choose the emergency repair process by
pressing R. 
When prompted, choose between the following: 
Manual Repair (press M): This should be used only by
advanced users or administrators. Use this option to
choose whether you want to repair system files,
partition-boot sector problems, or startup environment
problems. 
Fast Repair (press F): This is the easiest option, and
does not require input. This option will attempt to
repair problems related to system files, the partition
boot sector on your system disk, and your startup
environment (if you have a dual-boot or multiple-boot
system). 
Follow the instructions on the screen and, when
prompted, insert the Emergency Repair Disk in the
appropriate drive. 
During the repair process, missing or corrupted files
are replaced with files from the Windows 2000 CD or
from the systemroot\Repair folder on the system
partition. Replacement files from either of these
sources will not reflect any configuration changes
made after setup.

Follow the instructions on the screen; you might want
to write down the names of files that are detected as
faulty or incorrect, to help you diagnose how the
system was damaged. 
If the repair was successful, allow the process to
complete; it will restart the computer. 
The restarting of the computer indicates that
replacement files were successfully copied to the hard
disk.
