Download Knoppix 5.1.1 and burn it to a CD. Boot your computer with it, and copy off your data that you need. Once that is finished, reinstall windows from the bare metal and restore your data.

ShadowAce,

I just wanted to ask a quick question unrelated to this, if that’s okay.

You know how CD-Rs hold 700MB of data and DVD-R’s hold 4.7GB?

Can’t I put a blank DVD-R in a CD burner and burn 4.7GB of files to it? Or do you actually need a DVD burner in order to burn to blank DVDs?

I swear that some guy in my neighborhood burns files to blank DVDs, even though he only has a CD burner, not a DVD burner.

Is that possible? Thanks for any suggestions/clarification.

I have two seperate drives that have all the windows info on them. I don’t have a 2000 OEM disk just the upgrade version.
