that was pretty much it... but it was a bitch to finally get access to my harddrive in dos... through 5 tech support peeps i had to go through all they could suggest was format the fucking harddrive and reinstall xp... finally got a tech that knew his shit...
yeah, theres usually one at each company
lucky for you he was working when you called
the only thing i can suggest to avoid this in the future is get a copy of vmare and run all your apps inside of that. a min install of xp plus vmware can be a life saver plus it makes life easier when doing a full backup
