Yes, but it will roll everything back to SP2, leaving you with the task of updating
to SP4 and updates after that. Problem there is that if you have any devices or
software/drivers not compatible with SP2, you will have issues, possibly major IME.
Best to slipstream SP4 into a new install CD and then do your repair, and add updates
after that. Google for Autostreamer (instructions are all over the web) which is
easy to use and if you have a burner and software to make a CD from an ISO image
available, you will be able to make a new install CD. If the copy of W2K is the
same flavor as the install you want to repair, (Upgrade CD to upgrade install, full
CD to full install, OEM CD to OEM install) it should work. Has for me. I can post
some links for slipstreaming if you can't find everything needed. You will need
the autostreamer program, and the standalone SP4 exe, a CD burner and a burning program
that can take the ISO image that autostreamer creates to make a new install CD with
SP4 incoporated into it.
