    I need some screenshots of the Text-mode portion of the WIndows 2000 setup routine - specifically the bit where you get to selct "Repair an existing installation" and subsequent screens detailing the repair process.

    I can't find them anywhere on the 'net and I don't have a copy of VMware.

    Help!

    [edit]

    Also, rather conveniently, don't have a copy of Win2k Pro CD!

    The thing is, I need to write a guide of sorts, as part of what I do at work.

    The solution I'm writing at the moment details how to run a "repair installation" on windows 2000. It needs to be fairly simple and hence requires scrreenshots.

    The procedure goes along the lines of

    1) Set BIOS to boot CD
    2) Insert CD
    3) When CD boots select option "Repair mode"
    4) Select "Fast locate for emergency disk"
    5) etc.

    With screenshots required for each stage from (4) onwards.

    The problem being that there is no way of taking a screenshot at this stage without a digital camera. I'm assuming someone has done it (Microsoft?) in order to produce guides in the past.

    For example, Dell produce BIOS Simulators so that you can run them in Windows and take screenshots of what would be impossible otherwise.

    Another solution is to utilise VMWare and install Win2k in a virtual machine and do it that way (screenshottable) but (a) what a ball-ache and (b) I don't have my WIn2k Pro. CD.

    Tis a quandary and no mistakin' ;)

    Plug a TV into your G card and record it on video then play it back tru your Capture card and take snapshots.

    If you dont have the above its a Digi cam job :0
