One last part of the puzzle remains: Given that, on a windows client, I have backed up the partition the OS and its applications reside on. Given that the client's disk becomes unusable. Given that I can recreate the correct partition size and type with this CD. What is the best way to set up the MBR of the windows client so it will boot? An aborted Windows install? __________________________________________________________ Find your next car at http://autos.yahoo.ca
