excellent, hrdwareguy! I really appreciate your help. Er, my Win2k disk is non-license -- it's enterprise. In other words, it's a legitimate disk, I get Windows updates and all, but I've never used a serial number and will never have to. Will sysprep choke on that?
Good news, though -- my office, through an oversight, is now forced to rush ship me a DVD-RW drive. That could make backup considerably easier.
Seriously, you get lots of slack in politics from me based on your help here
