Edwin, "Do you know if NZR gets Win95 from your existing C: drive, or if it comes with it's own "special" version?" When I create a zip rescue disk set (comprised of one zip disk and one floppy) the routine formats both the zip disk and the floppy disk before proceeding to create 1) a bootable floppy disk with a bunch of Norton utilities stuff (such as Norton Disk Doctor) and 2) a zip disk with a copy of Windows 95 (with all my personal settings) directly, I'm sure, from my hard drive; a copy of the registry, a copy of the boot record and a copy of your hard drive's partition information. I have already tried out the zip rescue set belonging to a friend, and it couldn't fix the registry...the registry was the problem to begin with. How, you ask? My friend got "cute" and tried out a new feature in Norton Utilities 3.0 that messes around with the registry (probably the registry editor) and his machine wouldn't boot to Windows anymore. Midwest Micro told us that Norton was aware of this problem and was in the process of fixing Norton Utilities itself. It took me ten hours to wipe out the windows directory, reinstall Windows 95 with a pristine registry and then reinstall all of his commonly used software so that the registry new about the software again. What a pain!!! I went through the exact painful experience messing around with Winprobe 95, using a feature that was supposed to "cleanup" the registry. Ha! Took me 3 days to reinstall everything. Lesson learned? DON'T mess with anything you don't have to..EVER!! BTW I am still a strong advocate of using anything Norton puts out because it is the only product in it's class that has actually saved me over the years many times from catastrophic problems that have occurred from time to time.
