[dba-Tech] Win 2k Corrupted Profile

One, if u use roaming profiles, go and check your backup tapes before
the incident happened.

Two, copy the user.dat file from you colleguagues profile (loggog on as
an adminsitrator) to a Windows XP computer.

Use regedit to load the hive, regedit from Windows XP has build in
repair functionality and will repair the problems instantly while
loading as a hive. It will report when you have errors.

Subject: [dba-Tech] Win 2k Corrupted Profile

A colleague here managed to crash Windows 2000 and in doing so it
corrupted his profile. He can log in with his normal username/password,
but he can't get into Office 2000, as it says that there is an
unrecognised character in the path. Unfortunately, this also means that
he can't uninstall office or run the repair option (under any login).
 
Before we format the pc and start all over again, is there a profile
recovery tool that anyone knows of?
 
Thanks
 
 
Jon
