Thanks for the help. I'm probably going to just bite the bullet and buy a new computer with XP on it.
I've gotten the W2K system running (on it now), but only through a reinstall, which means that I have to reinstall apps. For apps that keep their settings in the registry, I need to reenter my preferences etc. I also have to track down serial numbers, updates, etc.
I'll just install enough to get this system serviceable, so it will hold me until I get a new machine.
It's ironic that I've been backing up my system daily through 2005 and weekly after that, but those backups are useless. The backup app (NTBackup) worked fine for restoring when it had the data (on disk) about the backup sets, but it fails without that information.
I also had a backup from a few days ago using Nero BackItUp, but the standalone restore system has bugs in it, and simply won't work.
