Somebody mentioned it a while back, don't recall if it was here or another newsgroup.

I ended up ordering the Recovery CD from IBM for my laptop and going back to 98se. I have a USB scanner that I use every week that does not work under 2000. I scan my parents bills which I then email to them in Mexico. Mom pays them electronically.

Yep, I've always used fdisk under windows to reset bootmanager after redoing a win install(happens far to frequently for how little I boot the windows partition). 2000 goes a step further than just deactiving bootmanager, every time 2000 boots it overwrites the bootmanager partition.
