Message: [QUOTE="J. P. Gilliver (John), post: 14225776"] In message <7ugjn9toucrjlt3jh630l0nq1vl2da50j3@4ax.com>, [] As several (I think it was the Bills) have mentioned, Lars Hederer's ERUNT is pretty good. I use it because ERU/ERD got me out of a hole several times in 98 days, and Lars seems to have tried to make something similar. If your Windows will boot at all, then it seems ERUNT will restore, over the damaged version, though I haven't used it enough to say it _always_ will. If your Windows _won't_ boot, the ERUNT executable will still restore things, but you need a way to get as far as being able to run it: I _think_ it will run from DOS if you have a FAT system, but since by default XP uses an NTFS system (though will run on FAT), if you have an NTFS system you need something to boot into; when I asked Lars himself, he recommended BartPE. I've used that, to make sure I was able to restore from an ERUNT save. (With held breath!) Unlike System Restore points, ERUNT saves endure until _you_ decide to delete them, rather than being overwritten/deleted when the allocated space is full and a new one is needed. (I. e. ERUNT doesn't _have_ an "allocated space" - it just keeps adding new saves.) [/QUOTE]
