I'd like to know what it is you mean to be honest. Never had to do that with W2K before but wiped XP off C and 
reinstalled the same image of C as G before. Then had to run a repair install directly after that. Never a problem that 
wasn't fixed by altering card entries in registry or easier - updating to the next SP.
