1. Emergency Repair Disk (in my recent investigation / testing of this procedure) appears to be of only limited use! Don't depend on the repair disk for anything but hours of entertainment.
2. Most important recovey tool is a tape back-up using third party software (for my findings on NT Backup see 1 above and substitute names).
The recovery process with tape backup becomes: Install NT and back-up software into parrallel directory (WINNT2). Recover the system (WINNT) from tape.Reboot. Delete WINNT2. (Be sure to check back-up / restore Registry in your back-up software).
Am not sure that IIS 2.0 works with IE 5.x on same server. May also be a conflict with the service pack. Install IIS 2.0 before installing SP3 and IE 5.x
