additional directory called MSEXTRA.
The IBM Product Recovery CDs for Windows 2000 Professional contain

Recovering the operating system and support software

Note: If your computer comes with Windows 2000 Professional
preinstalled by IBM, you have the option to recover Windows NT
Workstation. If you wish to recover Windows NT Workstation, use
the IBM Product Recovery CD 1 for Windows 2000 Professional and
choose Windows NT Workstation when prompted for the operating
system.
Use the following steps to recover the factory-installed operating system
and software:
1. Make backup copies of configuration files and any files you created.
Any files not backed up will be lost.
2. Insert your IBM Product Recovery CD into your CD-ROM drive. If you
have more than one, insert Product Recovery CD 1.
3. You might be prompted to choose the appropriate operating system.
4. Restart your computer and follow the instructions on the screen. If
your computer does not start from the CD, you need to change your
startup sequence. (See "Changing the startup sequence to start from
the CD" on page 123.)
5. When the recovery is complete, remove the IBM Product Recovery CD
and restart your computer.
6. If you changed your startup sequence, make sure you change it back
immediately.
