GG - as I said in #53 - I can get into dr-dos via 'NTFS for Dos' but that does not 'see' the CD drive.so I cannot get the Vista repair to run that way. Do you know which of the available Dos's will see NTFS and the CD Drive?
Keef - I think I have a Knoppix CD somewhere - I'll have a rifle thro' me drawers.
