WinXP hosed my system...
After installing Nero 5.5.5.1 (for a review, no less..oops, Nero!), I lost my DVD-ROM and CD-R drives. Dead. Hardware info says that the registry info for each drive is corrupted. I created a System Restore point just before I installed Nero and when I restore it, XP says that it can't restore the restore point

Turning off the computer without Windows.
I tried to reconstruct my system, which seemed to have been hosed by a bad controller. Lost all the email since September, some of it which had keys for software.. Huge number of documents. Got a new motherboard from Dell. Still couldn't see a boot device. Tried to 'read' the boot drive in an other computer.

As mentioned in the header, all disks in the system are dangerously dedicated. My question: what did I do wrong?

There's nothing obvious you did wrong, though there's a possibility that something may

ARRGH!! My system is hosed - wont be on for several weeks.
The system then freezes at this point. Would booting with the utility diskettes and specifying the /F:3 parameter when running chkdsk help bring my system back to life, or would formatting the drive and reinstalling Warp from scratch be my only recourse? I'm running Warp4+FP7, Adaptec 1522 ISA scsi,

Reinstall Windows
Not only didn't it work, but it locked up my system. Upon reboot, I got a message box that the configuration file for WarpCenter was corrupted, and it would reset to its defaults.

System Hosed!!!!!!!
to the SBS system 3 years ago. I came in knowing a bit (went through the whole MCSE on-site training for WinNT 4.0 in 1999 or 2000), and learned much since then. Ideally, if things are really hosed, I'd be setting up a new server on new hardware, and not disrupting the current box at all.
