Hi Tom
The good news is once you have a bootable install disk,
you can just pop it in the drive and "repair" your original installation...
@ the first screen choose "install" NOT repair...
@ the next screen(after the drivers and install files load)
you should recieve a warning that the install program has detected a previous installation,
do you want to repair it?
at this screen choose repair.
The install disk will fix whats wrong and return you to your working installation
WITHOUT having to re-install all your software and settings.
a really neet trick!
