The good news, the system was up and running, got recovery disk to boot up
with, retyped registry, but still needed to reload XP. The bad news is it
would not reboot into XP after turn off. XP starts then restarts - then
restarts etc. So reloaded again and then tried XP tools 'scan and attempt
repair of bad sectors' and it hung up at stage 4 - suggests bad drive? It's
doing a defrag now.
Will have another go at 'RAW/ISO
Thanks for your help - I'm learning and getting the repair bug again after
some 5 years away from it. Ray
