Re: After sp4 install on W2k Pro, system won't stop rebooting.

2 ways -- one you already told us you did NOT do and that is uninstall your
SP4 (but you said you did not check that box) -- the other is to pull out
the backup tapes. Since it is on a Pro system, I would venture to guess
your other option is to pull out that shiny frisbee and reinstall.

People, please if you are going to install software before letting others
try it, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A BACKUP. Drive Image or Ghost is pretty cheap
considering the alternative!! I think both are even downloadable now!!
