Let's see now...you're complaining of problems caused by installing a SP
that hasn't been released, is still in beta that you (probably) downloaded
via Kazaa. You installed this code without taking the proper precautions
(like backing up at the very least - I'd have cloned the drive first) and
you're surprised your computer is less than well...

You're either very naive or very stupid - and I'd go with the latter.

I really don't know what you expect us to do about it...

If you play with fire...
 
Mike;
Do you mean the computer manufacturer did not furnish a CD?
If that is the case, you may need to contact them to see what other
options they provided.

Or if you mean that the computer doesn't have a floppy drive, how the hades
did you install Windows in the first place?!
 
Don't be such a jerk, it was a simple question, if you can't be any help than keep your rude comments to yourself!

Have you ever heard of RIS? We have about 48 computers that have no external media drives as the security requirements of the environment require it

Why don't you try to be helpful....
