How can I re-install Windows 2000 Pro on the top of my existing Win2k PC at work

Hi to all

After uninstall IE 5.5 and back to IE 5.0, I still cannot update my IE from 5.0 to IE 6.0 and my boss suggests me to re-install Windows 2000 Pro on top of my existing Windows 2000 Pro SP2, may I know what is the correct procedures to so ??

Please kindly advise in details.

 

Before you go that route, try the following:

- start~run~cmd
- chkdsk x: /r (and just replace the "x" with all your drive letters, one at a time). You'll need to reboot for it to do the system drive.
- reboot and start~run~sfc /scannow
- apply SP3

See if the above will help you out.

Also, you say you can't update to IE6 but don't mention exactly what happens. That might help to know.

 

Hello Newt

Many thanks for your reply and I will try this out.

 

Post back, good or bad.

The reinstall is a last resort and is NOT a guarenteed fix for the problem.

 

Hello NewT

After applying SP3 onto my Win2k Pro SP2 PC, still cannot upgrade from IE 5.o to IE 6.0, so finally I have to use I have to editor the registry and remove one of the key suggested by Microsoft Knowledge base, in order to cure my problem.

Anyway, have a nice weekend !
