Highly doubtful that the old image will ever work, and even if it did, you might end up chasing phantom problems forever. I understand the desire to stick with your existing tweaks, but...

The hardware is drastically different, of course. I loaded a disk image from our old systems in the hopes that it would at least bootup, but I get a stop error (Win2000) Has anyone had much luck getting Win2000 to recognize new hardware in this situation? I can start over with a fresh installation, but there are two years of tweaks and fine tuning in the old image that will be difficult to easily recreate. thanks! -jav * John Valenti Systems Analyst, Labor & Industrial Relations * * 408 S Kedzie Hall, Michigan State University, E.
