Hiya, one of our external users has a NT workstation that has become corrupted (Cannot find various files on startup) Unfortunately the user doesn't have an Emergency repair disk, I've tried repairing from the NT CD (No luck - doesn't 'see' the install of NT) Any ideas how to run a repair without a ERD? I've taken a clone of the disk so am willing to try anything..

Crashed NT workstation

If you can mount drive as slave in another machine you could try running chkdsk on it (or if 2k/XP install disk available, load recovery console - works with NT installs - and try chkdsk there). In both situations you could try replacing the 'various files' if you know what they are - though problems like this are usually corrupted filestore (needs chkdsk) or hardware.
