failed attempt to upgrade a Windows 2000 PC ... I hate the word failure to the bone. but i have to face the reality.
upgrading a generic windows 2000 OEM PC (celeron 3.0G with 1GB ram, GA-sis chipset based MB) ... argh ..
Windows XP OEM cd can't do upgrade.
Windows XP VL cd can start the upgrade process, unfortunately, the PC failed to restart in the upgrading process.
tried to use XP w/sp3 cd in the recovery console to revive the installation, the message was there was an upgrade in process.
after all this trying, choice is to install from scratch using XP-OEM. things are easy to install from scratch.
the bigest disappoint is with storagecraft's shadow protect. the IT edition can't image windows 2000 installation from the W2000 gui interface. in a rush trying to finish the work before christmas, booted the PC from IT ed CD, take the image. But can't put the image back, it wont boot.
use pptp join the PC back to the domain, using the same PC name, but have to reset the computer account first in the AD.

I prefer the recovering sql server database application, developed by another company. I believe that it is the fastest way to open corrupted documents of specified format
