I am unable to assist you with your problem, but I am also attempting
to build a Slipstreaming W2k disk. A problem I have is that when not
looking my daughter let my 3 year old grandson get into my computer
disks. He damaged my original W2k disk so that about 4 programs can't
be found. I have a backup made with Ghost, but that was prior to
system changes, that I didn't Ghost. Any one have an idea how I can
recover the missing files, or find them some where? Thanks.
