The other day my registry got corrupted. I could not start windows. So I
got stuck.
Can we save it in DOS or preferable on a bootup floppy.>>

The answer is yes.  That's why I distrust registry backups/restore from
within Windows.

See my Web tutorial for full details on various methods of registry
backups---best done using ERU (from Ms site or off a Win 95 CD).. Works for
Win 98 and is the easiest and most reliable way I know to backup
registry.  Restoration in dos is virtually automatic, you don't need to
know much dos.

I can't emphasise too much how important it is to familiarise yourself with
this procedure----the only other option to keep a computer up to scratch is
to reformat regularly.
