| Hi.....Im studying for the 215 test using CBT nuggets and the New Riders Server book. Now...in the CBT nugget video....Dan states that the ERD does not help restore the registry. To fix the registry you need to back up the System state data. In the New Riders book it states that the ERD can fix the registry. Can someone clarify this please?
Im going to try the MS site now.
Thanks...... | |

| MS says that it can repair the registry.
I'll go with their information. | |

| A little research always seems to help.
Also go to technet.com for any assistance | |

| You can also use a Windows 2000 Emergency Repair Disk (ERD) to fix problems that prevent your computer from starting. It may be useful to prepare an ERD when your computer is functioning well, so you can be prepared to use it if you need to repair system files. To start a computer that needs repair, use the Windows 2000 Setup CD-ROM or floppy disks you created from the CD-ROM and choose the Repair method to utilize the ERD. The repairs that are possible with this method are limited to basic system files, the partition boot sector, and the startup environment. The repair process does not recover the registry.
NOTE : The ERD does not back up data or programs, and is not a replacement for regularly backing up your computer. To replace registry files, use the Recovery Console.
Note that the repair process relies on information that is saved in the SystemRoot\Repair folder. You must not change or delete this folder. If you also back up the registry to the Repair folder, you can save your current registry files in a folder within your SystemRoot\Repair folder. This is useful if you must recover your system in the event that your hard disk fails. | |
