Win 2k Registry Location

by DRxDON Nov 25, 2004 12:05PM PST

Where and how is the Win2K registry stored? I have a dual boot system with Win 98 and Win 2K. Is it possible to make a simple back-up copy of the system files from Win 98 and then just drop them into the Win 2k location if I have to completely reinstall my Win 2k system?
Thanks in advance,
Don H

Research RDISK on google.com. It's something I adhere to is to not duplicate web content...

Backing up and Restoring the Windows 2000 Registry

Also get familiar with the Recovery Console which would allow you to copy the files if you decide to switch to NTFS.
