Well, today my NTLDR wouldn't!  Or wasn't, depending on who you talked to!

I never did get it back, but after 4 hours of trying I had succeeded in
getting a floppy to boot (I had a weird boot config as well) and then
succeeded in getting Office apps to run windows setup every time they
loaded, trashed IE and so forth and so on.

So... I went down, bought a new 120mb hard disk, and started over.  I did
this of course so that I didn't overwrite anything (else) in the process of
getting windows working again.  Installed Win2kSP.  Of course no network,
video, sound and most critically drivers for the Promise100 IDE 3/4 where my
old disks now reside.  More hours searching for CDs and floppies for those
things, searching the internet (on my other computer - thank GOD for "the
other computer").

Of course I then spent several hours applying service packs, reloading O2K
(only, so far), Norton utilities, NAV, and am still in the process of
re-installing everything I can think of that I used to have.  The weird
thing is that I have my outlook.pst, but that apparently doesn't have the
personalized settings in it for things like rules, signature, etc.

Anyway, still loading stuff!

WHAT A PITA!WHAT A PITA!WHAT A PITA!WHAT A PITA!WHAT A PITA!WHAT A PITA!WHAT
A PITA!WHAT A PITA!WHAT A PITA!WHAT A PITA!WHAT A PITA!WHAT A PITA!WHAT A
PITA!WHAT A PITA!WHAT A PITA!WHAT A PITA!WHAT A PITA!WHAT A PITA!

My question to you kind folks, where the (*&%)%$#!@ are rules / sig and the
like kept for Outlook?

It seems like you would just copy the entire jcolby user and be back with
all that kind of stuff.  The problem of course is that there is stuff in
there for programs that don't exist (at least in the same place) etc.

Sigh!
