Note: You cannot use the Windows Emergancy Repair disk (ERD) to help resolve the following problems:

1. Incorrect or damaged device drivers that are installed in the Windows System folder.
2. Boot problems that occur after you see the Windows Startup (Osloader) screen.
3. To work around or fix these problems, run the ERD, load the last known good control set, or reinstall Windows, if necessary.
