> Ok, this is REALLY off topic but it does stem from linux in less than 20 steps. I was upgrading a couple servers yesterday, linux ( :-) ) and win2k adv svr ( :-( ). Naturally, the linux server went perfectly but win2k sucks! (ok, i already knew that.). Anyway, it seems that when you change win2k's harddisc controller, i.e. differebt motherboard, all hel breaks lose. Win2k doesn't know how to boot. I know that re-installing would fix this (with several restarts) but that would wipe the registry etc. Can anyone PLEASE help me out here? I do have write access to the NTFS volume if neccessary but I really need this server up ASAP. (Damn vendor, won't write for linux). Can someone please guide me somewhere that might lead to resolution?
