Default How do you restore an older version of the registry in XP?

The thought I have, would be to put the NTFS drive as a secondary
(slave) drive on my Win2000 computer, boot to 2000, and run ERUNT.
Dont know if that would work or not,


No, I don't believe that would work. The registry files would be
restored to the wrong location.


Could be a good basis for manual recovery though. It's another great
justification for removable drive frames.


If you have a second drive, that's a good excuse to image your boot
drive periodically (when it's stable). That's why I keep the OS and
programs on a separate drive from the data files.
