Over the last couple of years, I've often used 'scanreg /restore' to fix
busted W98's. These restores have been with varying degrees of success,
sometimes it's worked perfectly, sometimes not so good - it probably has a
lot to do with the cabfile used for the restore.
But there's an application of this system I've never tried, and I'm
wondering if anyone here has managed to make it work.
It strikes me that it should be possible to deltree Windows after a
particularly bad crash, reinstall it, (not an 'over-the-top' but a full,
clean install) then 'refurbish' it with a known-to-be-good cabfile.
Anyone tried this?
