This seems to be the simpliest method, because I already have got
a running Samba Server. I can do a backup of C: besides some
files which are locked because they are in use.
Before I try a crash test:
How could I do a restore - assuming the worst case: C: is
completely deleted?
Do I have to boot the Win2k CD-ROM?
