Hi Experts,
Over the past few days I have been building up my Win2K upgraded box
with an Intel D845GEBV2 board, Pentium 4 cpu and 1 GB of Kingston
chips. I had most of my progs installed and had applied SP4 and the
Rollup. I had two tasks remaining - upgrade the BIOS (yeah, I now
know I should have done that first <sigh!>) and troubleshoot the lack
of audio. I was working on the audio - inspecting the drivers etc -
and not using a pickaxe ;-) - when the system crashed. Sadly, this
was just before I had made the ERD. If I had anticipated that crash I
would have re-made the ERD every few hours.
After the crash, it rebooted and showed the boot screen with options
C: and D:. C: was the installation I was working on when it crashed.
D: was a very basic installation of Win2K with no updates. It was my
emergency "back door." Choosing C:, it loaded the startup screen and,
about 20 secs after the progress bar reached the end, it rebooted and
rebooted etc. I tried various Safe Modes and the LKG but with no
progress at all.
My experience was that I could get around the lack of an ERD at times
and Win2K would fix the boot setup, etc. So I set the BIOS to boot
the CD but when it arrived at the stage, where it might have fixed
things, it could not find the C: drive - only the D: Booting to that
that drive I could see the C: drive and all its files.
Can anyone rescue me from having to reinstall the C: installation
again? - about 5 hours of work probably.
TIA

its only 5 hours and its worth the effort..
