How to use?

Please read the walthrough and the FAQ before mailing me questions



If you have the CD, all drivers are included.
If you use the floppy, you need one or more of the driver floppies, too.

Overview

  1. Get the machine to boot from CD (or floppy)
  2. Floppy version need to swap floppy to load drivers.
  3. Load drivers (usually automatic, but possible to run manual select)
  4. Disk select, tell which disk contains the Windows system. Optionally you will have to load drivers.
  5. PATH select, where on the disk is the system?
  6. File select, which parts of registry to load, based on what you want to do.
  7. Password reset or other registry edit.
  8. Write back to disk (you will be asked)
DON'T PANIC!! - Most questions can usually be answered with the default answer which is given in [brackets]. Just press enter/return to accept the default answer.

The walkthrough and instructions is now on its own page!
